From Nevada Representative March 5, 1884

C. A. Goldsberry of Maxwell died, quite suddenly, of quick consumption, at Denver, Colorado, last week Tuesday. He went to Denver a few weeks since in the hope if regaining his failing health. He died while being conveyed from his hotel to St. Luke's Hospital. His remains have been bought to Maxwell. Mr. Goldsberry was a son-in-law of M. Dougerty of this city, and a man well esteemed in the community in which he resided. His death in the prime of life will be greatly mourned by his family and much regretted by his fellow citizens.
