Obituary
 Lon G. Ames, who was connected
 with the Arizona Copper Company
 store office force for a number of
 years, and who left Clifton about eight years ago, going direct to New
 York City, where he had been en- ployed in the brokerage business un- til about six months ago when he was stricken with acute lung trouble. The family moved to Sparata, N. J., hoping the change would be benefi- cia1. While sitting on the porch with his family, reading his mail, he was taken with a hemorrhage of the lungs and had passed away in few moments. His wife and son, Rich ard, and his father, Capt. A. G. Ames were with him at the time of his death. While in Clifton he was married to Miss Teresa Leach, of Oanbury, Conn.,, who survives him with one son, Richard, also his father Capt. A. G. Ames, and two sisters. The remains were taken to Danbury, Conn, for burial.
 Lon G. Ames was 43 years of age the 4th day of last November and d:ed June 26th. The many fr:enis in tho Clifton and Morenci district join in extending sincere sympathy to the bereaved family in their loss of devoted father, son and brother. Father Ames is probably the only early-day Mississippi River Pilot still living.
