Medford (Oregon) Mail, Friday, 8 Feb 1901, City Happenings, p. 7, c. 1-2 
Owen Short, of Phoenix, who has been employed as blacksmith with the Southern 
Pacific crew of bridge carpenters, was struck by a large falling boulder at 
the scene of the big land slide at Cow creek canyon, last Sunday evening, 
sustaining injuries from the effects of which he died at Grants Pass, Monday 
afternoon at 2:15 p. m. One of his legs was broken, and he was badly bruised 
on the head and chest, causing the internal injuries which resulted in his 
death. He was taken to Grants Pass on a special train immediately after the 
accident and his wife and father were summoned to his bedside, arriving there 
a short time before his death. His remains were brought to Phoenix and 
interred in the Phoenix cemetery Monday afternoon, Rev. W. B. Moore 
officiating. Mr. Short was a young man, twenty-eight years of age, and was 
highly respected. He was married in this city last August to Miss Minnie 
Nusbaum, by Rev. Moore, who just five months and sixteen days later officiated 
at his funeral. His sudden death was a great shock to his wife and she has the 
sympathy of many friends and acquaintances in her sorrow. She left for 
Glendale Wednesday evening for a few weeks’ visit with her sister, Mrs. 
Stidham, who resides at that place.
