 The body was removed to the undertaking parlors of Easterling 6 Whitney, from which place the funeralwill be held Arrangements for the services will not be made until relatives in the east are heard from.

 The deceased leaves a wife and a large circle of friends to mourn his death. He was 55 years of age, and came to Arizona about twenty-five years ago. Arizona Gazette
