General Notes: Husband - Hezekiah Carmack


He went to California in March, 1852, by the overland route, the trip occupying five months, and while en route he fell exhausted from thirst. A friend ran three miles for water, and returned with some just in time to save the life of the nearly expiring man. When he arrived in Sacramento, Mr. Carmack worked for a time at his trade, that of molder, and then took up land and commenced farming, but a disastrous flood came, which so discouraged him that he betook himself to the mountains, there to try his luck at mining. Here he, I. Shelby Crall and Lenard Savage located the "Savage Mine" at Virginia City, Nevada. After leaving that place, Mr. Carmack located in North San Juan, where he built a saw-mill, at the same time interesting himself in mining. He afterward sold out and proceeded to Chico, Butte County, California, and again took up farming, including the raising of stock. In politics he was a straight Democrat.
