Medford (Oregon) Mail, Friday, 20 Mar 1903, p. 7, c. 3

--John A. Blodgett, aged 40 years, who had been engaged in mining in the
Applegate district, and upon whom an operation for appendicitis was
performed some two weeks ago, died on Thursday night last. Mr. Blodgett's
family reside at Butte, Mong., and the remains were brought in from
Applegate on Saturday and embalmed and prepared for shipment by J. H.
Butler, of the undertaking department of the Medford Furniture Co. On
telegraphic instructions from the deceased brother [sic] the body was
shipped there on Thursday evening of this week for interment. The reason of
the delay was that it was some time before the relatives could be located.
His wife had started for Medford before her husband died, but turned back
when the news reached her of his death. At the time the operation the
patient was in very bad shape on account of the disease having progressed
so far, and his recovery was doubtful from the start.
