That theory says he while pneumonia crossing the Owyhee River on the way to the Montana gold fields. A burial site is marked near the connfluence of the Jordan and Cow Creeks near Danner, Ore. Other Reports Other r e p o r t s say Charbonneau died on the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming about 1885. A grave is marked there, too, beside that of his mother, who died in 1884.

In Wyoming The same somce says one account said she died in 1812 while crossing the Missouri River. Another report stated that she died in 1884 on the in Wind River Reservation Wyoming.
