The month of October 1850 was an eventful and tragic one for San Francisco. On the morning of October 7th, the Steamship Carolina arrived from Panama, via Acapulco and San Diego, with 210 passengers and anchored off Rincon Point. When she arrived, fourteen of the passengers had died due to Asiatic cholera. Panama had just recently been "infected with the disease and it was subsiding by September 16th, but the Carolina had left on September 10th. There was also news of cholera "...at Carson Valley, hundreds of miles in the interior, where it was said to have broken out among the overland immigrants." Three days later (Oct. 10), a newspaper reported "we have heard that there have been one or two cases very closely resembling cholera in the city, but the symptoms were similar to those exhibited in other diseases", and on Oct 13, "the [Medical] Society cannot ascertain that there has been more than a single case of Asiatic cholera originating in the city." There didn't appear to be any cause for alarm, yet.

On October 18th, San Francisco received the exciting news that California had been admitted to the United States. This had caused great joy in the city and parties and celebrations spread quickly. The jubilation lasted throughout the rest of the month. The formal celebration was scheduled for October 29th.

A reporter, along with the police, visited a "...settlement consisting of fifty tents, all huddled together, on the square bounded by Dupont, Kearney, California and Bush streets" (Oct. 20). The occupants were primarily Hawaiians, or Kanakas, and some from Sydney. The reporter noticed many were sick of a strange disease which caused death within twenty-four hours. It was later determined that the "strange disease" was cholera. The next day, in Sacramento, the news reported that "Two or three cases of cholera have appeared in town during the past two or three days."

On October 23rd, local news reported "Our citizens were startled yesterday morning by the report that a vessel had arrived in the harbor, having on board a large number of cases of cholera. Two men [Brooks and Buell] who came ashore from the vessel [schooner G H Montague] yesterday morning, and put up at the Sacramento Hotel, are now sick with cholera. That although cases of cholera have occurred in San Francisco it does not exist yet in epidemic form." In fact, according to the newspaper on October 28th, "In most instances the disease can be traced to Sacramento City—except in the case of the Hawaiians, near Bush street, among whom sickness had prevailed for several weeks."

The month ended on a sour note. On the afternoon of October 29th, after casting off from Central wharf, the Steamer Sagamore's boiler exploded. Between seventy-five to hundred people were on-board at the time and at least thirty died instantly, many more wounded. A local newspaper declared it was "the most destructive to life which has ever befallen our city."

Throughout the next couple of months the epidemic grew, and at least 250 and 300 individuals eventually perished in San Francisco (about 1% of the population), and over 1,000 in Sacramento. The epidemic eventually spread to other cities, but without the severity experienced in Sacramento and San Francisco.

Cholera is a severe diarrheal disease and is transmitted to humans by contaminated water or food. There were a number of others that had died of severe diarrhea and other cholera-related illnesses, But only those whose cause of death was specifically "cholera" is listed as such.
