From the July 18,1891 edition of the Silverton Standard:
SLIDE VICTIM FOUND.
The remains of D. W. Wilson, who was buried in a snowslide above the North Star mill on King Solomon mountain on Feb. 5, were found last Tuesday, July 14, and were brought back to town and buried on the following day. Twelve dollars in money was found upon him, but no papers of any kind.
