page 362:
Another son, 16 years of age, was now taken quite sick, seemingly almost the same [as his son Wiley, who died a few weeks previous]. We were about fitted up for a move. I now determined to to start for Utah. Death seemed to desire the lives of my family. Others were complaining.
My sick son seemed uneasy and wanted to move, so we started out. After being on the road but three days, he died and was buried at the Vulture mining camp. My three oldest sons remained in Arizona, and are there yet.
[the paragraph just before this one is about the death of his son Wiley]
