Unknown death, maybe Nevada
Malcolm Orr (143053482)
Malcolm, one day after being on a drinking party, came to the home of Osborne and Emma, where he was living at the time and said that he was going to Nevada to the gold mines and get rich. He said that if he didn't get rich that he would never come back. Emma, his sister-in-law thought a great deal of Mac and begged him to go to bed for a while and that she would get him something to eat. She also told him that if after a good nights rest he still persisted in going that she would fix his clothes for him and help him on his way. Her efforts were futile however. He crawled into a wagon and left with very little money and clothing. It was a sad day for Osborne and Emma. Candace said that her mother cried for a long time about Uncle Mac. Mac was approximately 30 years of age when he decided to leave home. He was last heard of somewhere in Nevada. He then disappeared and they have never heard from him again. The last thing they heard about his was that he left Abatrope, Nevada on a cart with a man by the name of Priest. At the time they said he was carrying two or three hundred dollars with him. Abatrope is near Gold Hill, Nevada. It was said by some that they think he might have been murdered for his few dollars. His brother Osborne, at one time hired a detective to look for him. His brothers naturally felt bad and would always wonder what happened to him. In spite of his over indulgence with alcohol, everyone in Clover that can remember Mac speaks well of him.
