Hi,
Here's a death notice for Mr. Folger:
Deaths. At Hamilton, White Pine, Nevada, 31st ult. [previous month, July, 31st]from an accident caused by the upsetting of a stage, Mr. Edward Pell Folger, formerly of Nantucket,aged 40 years and 4 months.
-- New Bedford (MA) Mercury, August 20, 1869
A Late Stage Accident. The White Pine News of July 21st gives the following particulars of a late stage accident in its locality:One of the coaches plying between this city and Hamilton was upset yesterday at the sharp turn of the road near the Mammoth mine, while descending the mountain. There were seven or eight passengers inside the coach at the time, and six or seven on the outside. The latter were pitched down the mountain side, about forty feet, all of them being more or less bruised, but none seriously injured. Colonel Avery, of the Centenary mill, Newark, received the most painful and serious wounds, one of his ankles being severely sprained. Dr. Webber was telegraphed for, and went immediately to his assistance, and found that the Colonels wounds, though painful, were not of a serious nature. Judge J.D. Meagher, of this city, also received some bruises and cuts on the right wrist and thigh. The passengers with whom we conversed attach no blame to the driver, looking upon the affair as an
accident which could not be avoided nor anticipated, the only fault being that the coach was not properly coupled. The team was going at a moderate trot at the time, and stopped short as soon as the accident occured.
