Medford (Oregon) Mail, Friday, 1 June 1900, Jacksonville News, p. 3, c. 3
Kalama, the housekeeper of the late Alfred Carter, who died at his home on 
Forest creek a short time ago, died Thursday at the county hospital, aged 
about sixty years. There is something almost pathetic about her death. When 
the whites took possession of this beautiful and fertile valley with its rare 
and richly variegated surroundings, Kalama was a little girl surrounded by a 
powerful tribe whose bravery and warlike spirit made them famous throughout 
the United States. Her once great tribe is now almost extinct. A few yet 
survive on the Siletz reservation, and there is but one now living in Jackson 
county.
