Mohave County miner., 1905-11-18
Death of L. V. x. BIakely.

ILOW DidhOly, SUI Oi ouUSO W. o' Blakely, one of the best known of the young men of this county, died at Chloride last Sunday night of pneu- monia. He had been ill but few days and his death was rather unexpected. Deceased was born in the state of Me- vada about 38 years ago, but had lived in Mohave county since babyhoOd. He was printer by profession, hay ing learned the trade more than twenty years ago on this paper. He leaves wife, father and two brothers to mourn his death.
 From an intimate acquaintance the writer can truthfully say that no warmer hearted man ever lived than Lew Blakely. His death will be deeply felt by his host of friends not only in Mohave county, but through out the territory.
 The funeral was held from the M. E. church in Kingman Tuesday after noon, under the auspices of the local lodge of Odd Fellows, of which de- ceased was an honored member. The little church could not hold the great crowd of people assembled to pay their tribute of respect to the memory of one they loved.
 At the grave the funeral service of the Odd Fellows was read and rever- ently and lovingly all that was mortal of Lew Blakely was laid away in the tomb. May he sleep peacefully.
 w. c. Fellows, receiver for the Mo- have & Milltown railroad, was in Kingman today and sold under mas ter's sale the Mohave & Milltown rail- road and all appurtenances to satisfy the claims of the Los Angeles Board of Trade, represented by w. c. Mush- ct. It is expected that the sharehold- CTS of the railroad will pay off the claims and again operate the road. It is expected that this short line of road could be made to pay handsomely had it direct route into Needles. At present the heavy cost of transferring across the river is one of the great obstacles to success.
 Mir. and Mrs. T. L. Ayres departed last Tuesday evening to their home in San Francisco, after visit of sever al months in Kingman. The couple resided in Mohave county so many years that it seems impossible that they can reside anywhere else and it is probable that they will return some time in the future and take up their permanent residence here.
 Mrs. Ida H. Read, president of the Vermont Womans' Christian Temper ance Union, will stop off at Kingman tonight and tomorrow will deliver two lectures in the M. E. church. She will talk to the children at II a. m. and will lecture at p. m. All are invited. Judge w. G. Blakely departed We'd nesday last to PheniX, where he will look after Mohave county's interest in the mandamus proceedings brought by the territorial attorney to compel the placing of the tax raises made by the territorial board on the assessment roll of this and other counties.
