The following article appeared in the Thursday, 21 Mar 1889 edition of the Wilkes-Barre (PA) Record newspaper. If you would like a copy of this obituary, please send me your mailing address.

"Information was received in this city yesterday concerning the death of Thomas Loucher, who, accompanied by James Davis and Thomas Jenkins, left this city last June for Washington Territory. Mr. Loucher was a native of Llansamlet, Wales. He left there last spring to fulfill a contract which he had undertaken in Carbonado, Washington Territory. His partner, Mr. Jenkins, died last August [posted to Wales-Gen 18 Feb 2003]. Mr. Loucher's death was caused by malarial fever, which is prevalent in Carbonado at present, there being seventy-five cases in that small town. Attention was paid to him during his last illness by friends and strangers. He leaves a wife and several children in the old country. Mr. Rosser Bodycomb, of this city, is a nephew of the deceased."
