I have found some more warriors who died while on trips !!

On the 27th Jan 1890 US Consul Charles B Trail wrote from Marseilles informing Asst Sec of State William F Wharton of the deaths of two Chiefs ........


The previous December - Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show left Marseilles and the 2 chiefs were sick with Typhoid fever and smallpox respectively and were left at the Conception Hospital in Consul Trails care

Chief Hawick died of the fever on the 1st Jan 1890 and Featherman of the smallpox of the most virulent type 6th Jan 1890 ... A Catholic priest officiated at the funerals and their property was forwarded to Cody to be delivered to their heirs ........... !
