Moxley Manuscript, Oregon Historical Society:
"Another mountain was crossed on October 21st, 1846 and the emigrants camped this night on Cow Creek. Six miles were traveled to the southern entrance of the rugged Umpqua Canyon. The wagons remained for the next three days, while every able-bodied man and many others who were not able-bodied because of weakness caused by shortage of food, proceeded to clear a road through the canyon..........
Just as the emigrants were about to begin their journey on Monday morning (Oct. 25) another death was added to the already long list of trail causalities. A Mr. Brisbin was yoking his oxen to the wagon when he is seen to stagger and fall. Others rushed to assist him to his feet and found when they picked him up that he was dead.
Over exertion coupled with a weakened physical condition was presumed to have caused his death. The funeral services were held in the evening."
