DOUGLAS PEOPLE
ATTEND FUNERAL
OF E. R. ENGLISH

number of Douglas people drove to
Bisbee Thursday to attend the funeral
Of Allen r. English, a leading pioneer
and lawyer of this county who died in
a Douglas hospital Tuesday. Judge AL
bert M Sames of the superior court at
Tombstone, delivered the funeral ora
tion.
English was at one time a leading
member of the Arizona bar. He had re-
sided in the vicinity of Bisbee and
Douglas for the past 40 years and was
known throughout the state for his
outstanding legal ability. The funeral
was held from st. Patrick's Catholic
church at 4:SO and interment was in
Evergreen cemetery at Bisbee.
The Reverend Father Mandin offici-
ated at the service in the church. At
it's conclusion six members of the> Ari-
zona Bar association, including Cleon
II. Knapp of Douglas, Judge Albert M.
Sames, Fred Sutter, Alexander Murray,
s. K williams and John Sanders, car
ried the casSet to the waiting hearse.
The body was laid to final rest beside
other pioneers who shared in the events
of Bisbee when it was a young mining
camp.
Judge Sames, in his funeral eulogy,
delivered at the grave, said in part:
"Mr English was designed by nature
for leadership among men in his chosen
profession He was singularly en-
dowed with a fine physique and excep-
tional qualities of mind. The weak
nesses and infirmities of later years
have not obscured his reputation and
achievements in the earlier days of his
career as a lawyer, public man and
