"Owyhee Avalanche", May 30, 1868: "About an hour after the first attack, the stage came along, and when exactly in the same rocky pass, it was fired into and the driver, Nathan Dixon, was instantly killed." "Nathan Dixon, at the time of his death, was thirty-five years of age, and is believed to have been born in Indiana. His father came to Iowa at an early day, where he still resides; his mother died while he was quite young leaving no other children. In the Spring of '53 he crossed the plains to Suisun Valley, Solano County, California, where he lived till '64, when he went to Boise Basin, where he remained till Bill Beachey stocked the Railroad Stage Line two years ago. Since which time he has been in Beachey's employ, except a short visit to his old neighborhood in California last Winter. "Dick", as he was familiarly called, was universally beloved by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. Courteous to all and generous to a fault, truthful, trustworthy and reliable, he was of those men that the world can illy afford to lose, and his loss is deeply felt."
