He then joined the California gold rush where he made most his money in ice, not gold. He moved to San Diego in 1867 and led much of its "new town" development.

140517-9517KateMorgan
Kate Morgan. AKA Lottie Bernard, was found dead at the Hotel del Coronado near San Diego.on November 29, 1892, on the exterior staircase leading to the beach, of what was believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. This was five days after checking into the hotel. Perhaps not surprisingly, she is thought by locals to be a ghost at the hotel. There is some controversy as to Kate Morgan being Lottie Bernard (actually Barnard). Kate' photograph provided by her employer did not match the deceased. And, it may have been murder...
