Macy & Co. begun in Marysville was short-lived.  In the Marysville Herald on
September 24, 1850, appeared a notice of dissolution.

Sacramento Transcript, Aug. 21, 1850, page 3:  Marysville, Aug. 18.  Friend
Taylor:  We had the pleasure of seeing to-day three of our friends, just
from the mines, bound home, with their piles all made.  Their names are Mr.
Stillman Churchill, Mr. Rodney Churchill, and James A. Wilkins, from Lowell,
Mass.  They were a party of nine, who left this town for the mines some two
months ago. They took a claim on Oscaloosa Bar, on the Middle Fork of the
Feather river, and in four weeks the party have taken out $75,000 -
something over eight thousand dollars apiece.  They say that, as a general
thing, the miners are doing well, and that many will do even better than
they have done when they get fairly to work on their claims.  MACY & CO. -
