Sacramento Daily Union, December 30, 1884:
Body Of Drowned Woman Found
December 29 - December 29th. The body of a woman, about 50 years of age, was found in the sand on the bank of the Yuba river, opposite this city, to-day. It has not been identified, but is probably the body of a Mrs. Sherman, who was drowned in the north fork of the Yuba, near Brandy City, Sierra county, eleven days since, and was brought down by the recent freshet. There was no clothing on the body, but as there were no abrasions of the skin, such as would have been made had the clothing been torn off by coming in violent contact with rocks in its passage down stream, it is probable the clothing was taken from it by some miscreant.
