BRIEF SKETCH OF
ARIZONA SOCIETY
Only Thirty of Original Mem
bership OF One Hundred
and Fifty Remain
by S. R, De Long.)

Arizona tiOnSer ana HISTORICAL so
ciety, Tucson, Dec. "a, 1905
This society was :irst oTgaaizsd in
1884, at the instigation of Hon. C. w.
Poston, who was our first member OF
congress, and was intended to bring
together those who were citizens CT
Arizona before January /, 1870, and
the first organization was of those who
were eligible to membership by being
citizens of the territory before that
time. Since then the Historical has
been added and those who arrived
later can become members of it and
be granted certain privileges with
other members.
The first president of the society
was Hon. William S. OureZ, a man
noted for his courage and enterprising
spirit, and under his firm and " Sc
management the society was placed
upon its feet.
The society was not organized as
"a religious or political body and dis,
eussions on either subject were for
hidden in its hall. (.
The business of the society has been
b gather statistics of Arizona, past
and present, and Information upon all
subjects that interest an inlslHgaai
people. They now have a library OF
some 5000 volumes upon va i-Us sn0
.jects, and have many interesting and
high priced works.
They assist the needy widows and
orphans of pioneers who have beez
members of the society, but are net g
contributing aid society to those out
side of the organization, as theil
means are not sufficient
At one time the society had about
$50 members, but death, the great
reaper Of all things that live, has not
been idle. and of the old timers moi
over thirty are left, and probably In
the ten years to come all will have
been gathered in.
any men OF national fame have
been members of the society, but have
mostly. passed to the eternal beyond
General George Cook was in life g
member. General Nelson A. Miles il
.pt.fli tbs stu I.ieutenant Brodie, ex
governor Of Arizona, is still with u.
in some military post 1t makes one
feel sad realizing The giants who have
been with as, most of whom have pass
ed on TO another country, and the re
mainder are trembling on for yet /.
little while
The society has done good IN It's oar
and no evil, but, like all things human
il must end
