#122 for 1000 shares to trustee AF Main. Datelined San Francisco 1878. Signed by secretary Main and president Robert Barton. Incorporated on September 2, 1878. This stock was issued on September 3d.

It seems the young woman had died and the local doctor, in need of surgery practice, dug her up and practiced his trade. When caught, the doctor fled town and was never heard from again [Bodie Bonanza by Loose]. Prag collection City: Bodie State: California Date: 1787 HWAC# 79763
