Excerpt from Journal of Samuel Rutherford Dundass, Formerly Auditor of Jefferson County, Ohio: Including His Entire Route to California, as a Member of the Steubenville Company Bound for San Francisco, in the Year 1849
On the Sabbath evening previous to the embarkation of the Steubenville company, its members marched in abody, to one of the Churches of the city, and were addressed in the most solemn and appropriate language, by Rev. Dr. Catty, and Rev. Mr. Nicholson, a clergyman of the Methodist Episcopal Church. And on the following Monday, as they embarked on the noble steamer ready for their accommodation, they were favored with an eloquent oration by Co]. George W. Mccook. Numbers of citizens flocked to the wharf to bid farewell to friends, and with a hearty God bless you, to be impressed with the conviction, that they might return no more forever.
