The Phoenix Republican o. Wednes
day morning contains an article re
garding the death of Jean Mcbride
the little five-year-old daughter of w
G.. Mcbride and wife, who were Tor
mer residents of this district Mr.
and Mrs. Mcbride were first locates
at Cananea and then came to thi:
city and resided for some time here
and when the CORTLAND district
opened he was in charge of the oper
atoms there on the Great Western
property From there they went tC
Mammoth and thence to Morenci, an
then to Globe. The many friends Of
the couple in this district extend theil
most heartfelt sympathy in the hon.
of their untimely loss. The article
is as follows:
"Laughingly from the arms of hei
parents, with fullest childish trust IN
all OF her surroundings, little Jean
Mcbride, five years of age. went al
unconsciously to her death upon ?
surgeons table Wednesday morning
The shock and unutterable anguish
Of the parents and the surgeon could
not have been greater had the chtld
met with some manner of violent
death before their eyes in the most
unexpected form. Ether poisoning
totally distinctive from ether action
upon the heart, representing condi
ton of the lungs instead of dire;
effect upon the heart and occurring
only under a most unusual combina
ton of circumstances was the cause
of death.
Little Jean came here with her pa
rents, Mr. and Mrs. w. G. Mcbride
from Globe on Monday morning. Thu
child had been troubled for some time
with swollen tonsils. Globe physicians
had advised a slight operation for her
relief. The child strongly objected to
an operation under the hands of other
than the family physician. between
whom and the little one there had al
ways been a strong bond of affection
Mr.. Mcbride having decided to come
here from Globe, where he is manager
of the Old Dominion Copper company
to attend the meeting of the Arizona
chapter of the American Mining Con
eress decided that the visit would al
ford opportunity for the operation
and therefore brought the little CIR
over with Mrs. Mcbride. Monday the
child spent at the home of the physi
clan. and Wednesday morning arose
to play about in her usual high spirits
and apparently in the best of physical
condition. Attended by her parents
she went to the operating table more
in the spirit of happy, adventure than
otherwise. Ether was administered
and the slight operation quickly per
formed. The shock came when the
little one failed to rally from the
araesthetic. All known to science
was done with the utmost skill 10 ct
feet restoration. but to no avail. Mrs
McT;ride was near pros rated from
grief and shock. from which her nus
band and the surgeon we're hardly
less overcome. When the news was
conveyed to Mr.. McBride's associates
and friends in the mining congress
it carried a deep sense OF persona
affection, attended by expressions Of
the utmost sympathy.
The little girl was the only child
of Mr.. and Mrs. Mcbride. Possessed
of an ever-sunny disposition, she was
a favorite with all who came in con
sact with her Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Bride left Thursday night for GlooC
with the body. Funeral services ant
interment took place there Friday.
a dispatch from Globe Wednes
day night said that the news Of the
tragic occurrence had been received
there with expressions of deep sym
pathy throughout the community. AL
though Mr.. and Mrs. Mcbride ha !t
been residents there FOR but a rev
months. having come from Morenci
where he was assistant manager witt
the Detroit Copper company, they ha6
mingled much in social circles ant
public affairs of the district. always
accompanied by their little daughter
who had won general acquaintance
