Caudill. really, but nobody ever called him that. He had spent years traveling all over the West purchasing rare and historically important items. Kickards explained to him he had a wagon collection and looked over at a nearby stagecoach and I told him I had a four-uof mules that would pull it. "With this he gave me a smile and walked out and introduced himself." His name was "Dobbie in Salt Lake. But Kickards had the hearse and a letter from Dobbo verifying all that Tomosetta Young had told him and all that he had told Kickards. The hearse has never been repainted and still has some of the white material lining the interior. The material, by the way. says Kickards, is from the first cotton gin in Utah, at Cedar City. Kickards said he realized the hearse was a valuable item in Mormon history and "should take its place in history." He decided to have the hearse appraised, and was told by two different appraisers that it was worth $65,000 and $55,000, respectively. He wrote r members of the Church Historical Societv, offering to sell the hearse to them for $25,000. They wrote back saying they had no money, but asked Kickards to donate the hearse. When a friend of Kickards' went to Salt Lake, he called a few contacts about the hearse, including Thomas Young, Jr. All verified the hearse's history. Dobbie told Kickards that somewhere in his files was a letter from Tomosetta Young stating that the hearse carried Brigham Young to his grave and validating other details about it. He promised to give Kickards the letter when he found it, so a lew months later when Kickards was in Las Vegas, he stopped in That very afterto see Dobbie. noon, two or three men had robbed Dobbie of his diamond and $10,000. They also gave him a blow on the head.'' said Kickards. Dobbie was never the same after that. When Kickards went to see him yet another time, the last time before he died, it was a pathetic sight. "People had stolen much of his collection and he had degenerated both mentally and physically to an alarming degree," I w typewriter from the first bank purchased the hearse in 1945 or 1946 from a Tomosetta Young in Salt Lake City. Young told Dobbie Doc that the hearse had been used to bury Brigham Young in 1877 and had been kept in the family all that time. n job in 100 years. . Stick it in Dickens' London with a skinny guy clad in black on the driver's box and it could be downright scary. But, sitting there in the California sunshine, it doesn't look the least bit frightening just a little out of its element. So Dobbie died, losing most of his collection to thie'.es, including the original bank safe and hearse that was horse-draw- antique hunter, and couldn't resist the urge to mull through a shop or two when he and his wife were in Las Vegas in 1972. At one shop they were told of a man who had many historically valuable items, including wagons. "We were warned by this ner-sothat the man was very strange and carried a gun." Kickards said in a letter to The Daily Herald. At the site were wagons of all descriptions and items of the old West. "It was without a doubt the f inest western collection I have ever seen,'' Kickards said. They were looking around and noticed a man standing in the shade, wearing overalls and a white shirt and a large diamond stickpin. "This man had a gun on his hip and very abruptly asked me what I wanted. I to have the white like would Obituaries Karl Black Karl G Blink. 68 ol American Fork, iljeil Saturday.
