Ketchum
"Mr. Sublette came up this afternoon with a company of sick folks going to the mountains for their health. They have had four deaths in this company since they left St. Louis." In fact, the four deaths had occurred since leaving Westport, three of them in Kansas.
The second death was a man named Ketchum on June 28?, 1844. Again, Clyman's journal is the main source of information. On July 3, about 13 miles beyond Rock Creek, Nebraska, he states: "Mr. Sublett again came up having buried one more of his invalids Mr. Ketchup (sic) by name three days since (June 30?) at his camp called by him Ketchums grave 10 miles West of Blue River. Mr. Ketchum was (a) young man his Brother came with him and attended him to his grave in this greate wilderness of Prairie which stretches in all most all directions beyond the field of vision."
