Daily Nevada State Journal August 21, 1883
The funeral of the late C.W. Ward took place from the family residence, on
Center street, at 2 o’clock Sunday afternoon and was largely attended.  The
funeral services were conducted by the Masonic fraternity.  Mr. Ward’s death was
caused by falling from the top of the Lafayette Hotel, in Winnemucca a distance
of 24 feet to the sidewalk.  He never spoke after the fall and lived but a few
hours.  Six or eight men who were at work on the building at the time of the
accident testifies that deceased had been laying out wood for them, and all over
the building about 7 o’clock in the morning and a little later was on the front
part of the building where for some unknown cause he lost his footing and fell
to the sidewalk.
