CERTIFICATE OF DEATH OF JESSE MORGAN, OF OHIO

Sacramento City, California

I hereby certify that Jesse Morgan, late of ohio, was killed in this city, on the corner of J and Fourth streets, at or near two o'clock, on Wednesday, August 14th, 1850, having two wounds,-- one through the neck, and the other being a slight wound through the left hip.  I superintended the interring of the body, which was done in a respectable manner--his age being near 45 years.
