Age 68.
Antonio Bacigalupi, who immigrated to the United States in 1872 from his native Italy, was a well known pocket miner who worked along the Stanislaus River at Columbia. He lived alone, and he worked alone on the river. He also did odd jobs for people.
Until two years before his death, Antonio worked at mining. Then on a bitter cold winter day, he fell ill while at work and was too ill to get to his cabin. After an all night search for him, he was found with his feet frozen. His feet were amputated, ending his career at mining.
Funeral services were held at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Sonora, and burial was in the Columbia City Cemetery.
He was survived by a sister who resided in Jackson, Amador County, California.
