On Findagrave there is a note taken from the Owyhee Daily Avalanche for 22 July 1875 for John Trevethan, a cornish miner, who died of typhoid fever at the West Eagle Hotel in Silver City, Owyhee, Idaho.  I am trying to find out if there is further information in the newspaper of John Trevethan's death and wonder if there is anyone who is able to look at the Owyhee Daily Avalanche, or other similar newspaper for that town, which might tell me more.  I am hoping to find more information of the names of his family back home in Cornwall.  Any help much appreciated

This appears to be the source of the transcription.

I'm not seeing anything else. Just using last name came up with this, which is no help.

Thanks. I am hoping this John Trevethan is my great great uncle. Although very sad to think he died of typhoid I am hoping to find mentions of his family somewhere to confirm it is him.  It’s a long shot probably! Thanks for your help.

No, he was just John Trevethan.
