Hello All 
Checking through some records I found these articles from "The Portage Lake Mining Gazette", Houghton, Michigan. So many Cornish names including some of my CARBIS clan
DEATHS
1886 Feb 4 Thursday-- Mr. James OXNAM, formerly of the copper country, was drowned in the Germania mine, Butte, Montana on January 19. Two bands played at his funeral and the men were--
The Alice Band- Prof J. H. VIOL(leader); Dan NEIL; Wm SARA; Joe BROUGHTON; Wm HENDY; Ben JENNINGS; Wm CARBIS; James HENDREW; Joseph NORTHY; Wm BODY; John CARBIS; James BROUGHTON; Richard POLKINGHORN;
George SANDOW; Henry RODDA; Tom BURT; Sam BARKER; and Walter WILLIAMS.
The Butte City Band-- Fred ADLER (leader); John PELLER; John WILLIAMS; T. H. THOMAS; Charles YOUNG; Frank MARSH; and George FITCHEN.
The miners from all over the area turned out for the largest funeral in Butte. The men in The Alice Band probably are Cornish.
Deaths
1886 Apr 29 Thursday- Wm CADDY, miner, formerly worked at the Atlantic mine in Houghton area, was killed in the Idaho mine, Grass Valley, Colorado a short time ago. He leaves a wife and 5 children. (PROBABLY CORNISH.)
Did your ancestors wonder why they never had a reply to their letters?
