Citizen Press
23 Feb 1882

The news of the death of our respected fellow citizen, G.W. Wyscarver, created a profound sensation, as it was not known that he was ill. He died from Typhoid fever. A few weeks ago he was in Caldwell, apparently in good health. His protracted siege of the same disease in 1879 perhaps rendered him less able to resist a subsequent attack. George was an honest man, and will be greatly missed among his many friends, who were greatly attached to him because of his genial good nature and sterling integrity. He leaves a wife and large family of children.
