An Old Timer Gone
Hank Monk, of Horace Greeley fame, died at Carson City about 11 o’clock
Wednesday.  Deceased had been suffering for several weeks and was brought to his
death by a sudden attack of pneumonia.  The name of Hank Monk was known in every
household in the land.  As stage driver over the Placerville route, deceased was
known to every man, woman and child along the road.  He was a jovial fellow in
his peculiar dry way, and passed many a joke at the expense of his passengers. 
Deceased was born at Waddington, N.Y. and was about 55 years of age.  During his
illness he was carefully attended by the wife of his employer and fast friend,
Doc Benton, and everything possible was done to ease the dying moments of an old
and valued servant.
