... that Frederick Prigg and his predecessor in the Oregon provisional government's secretary position were both doctors who died by drowning in a river at Oregon City just three years apart?

Source: On p. 11 of the "Oregon Secretaries of State, Biographical Sketches, 1841-Present", it says John Edward Long was a physician, then goes on to say "Long served as secretary of the provisional government from May 25, 1844 to June 21, 1846. … He served in that position until he was drowned while fording the Clackamas River." In the next paragraph, the source says Frederick Prigg was a physician, then says "Prigg was appointed secretary of the provisional government to succeed Long … He fell to his death from a bluff into the Willamette River at Oregon City in October 1849." The same events are covered in Footnote 74 on p.36 of Bancroft’s History of Oregon, Volume II, but that source say Dr Long drown in the Willamette River at Oregon City (vice Clackamas River, which also flows through Oregon City). As a result, I decided not to name the river in the hook … instead of just said "river", which applies regardless of which river he drowned in.
