Medford (Oregon) Mail, Friday, 27 July 1900, Jacksonville News, p. 6, c. 2
The following item was sent us by our Jacksonville correspondent the week 
following the gentleman’s death, but it was mislaid and not until this week 
did it come to light: C. H. Barkdull, a native of Ohio, died on Applegate, at 
the residence of his daughter, Mrs. John O’Brien, on Thursday, June 28, 1900, 
aged 79 years, one month and six days. Mr. Barkdull came to California in an 
early day, and to Southern Oregon in ‘55. He went back to California in a 
short time and removed here with his family in ‘56. He went to the Williams 
creek mines in 1859, in boom times, and built a large hotel. The mines were 
spotted, miners lost faith in them and the camp rapidly declined. The northern 
excitement was at fever heat in 1861, and everyone footloose went north. The 
hotel enterprise was a failure, and Mr. Barkdull lost considerable money. He 
went north later, but met with no particular success. Mr. Barkdull was an 
amiable, pleasant and honest man, had many friends and was a good citizen. He 
leaves a number of children and grandchildren. The remains were interred in 
the Jacksonville Cemetery Saturday, June 30th, at 10 o’clock, Hon. Wm. M. 
Colvig, officiating. Many relatives and friends attended the obesquies.
