Mrs. Lizzie Hudson, wife of Dr. T.F. Hudson, died yesterday
morning about 10 o'clock after a lingering illness. For a
long time she has suffered from a malady that has boggled
the skill of her physicians, and in spite of the most
careful attention she succumbed to it. Doctor and
Mrs. Hudson came to Arizona from Santa Rosa, Cal.
where they were married many years ago, first settling
at Tombstone, which was their home for years. Mrs.
Hudson was one of the first Arizona women that went
to that camp. The doctor later was engaged extensively
in the cattle business, lost his fortune through its
general failure and recouped it largely through the
location and sale of what is now known as the Black
Diamond Mine. He was also engaged in the drug business
at Tombstone. About ten years ago they moved to Tempe,
where Mr. Hudson conducted a drug store for two or three
years, moving from there to Phoenix.
In all these places Mrs. Hudson has been not only well but
intimately and favorably known, having a very large circle
of very warm friends. She was a lovable, Christian woman,
notable for her kindly acts and her charitable disposition
and will be sincerely mourned by a multitude of friends.
She was a valued member of the M.E. church, and many in
that congregation feel in her death a personal bereavement.
Beside her husband she leaves in her immediate family an
adopted daughter, whose relationship has been as close as
though linked by ties of nature and a niece who has watched
faithfully at her bedside.
The funeral service will be held at the family residence,
No. 514 North Fifth Avenue, Wednesday morning at 10 0'clock.
CHESTER JOHNSON
October 13, 1903
Chester A. Johnson, son of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Johnson,
died at the family home in San Diego of heart failure,
October 7, 1903. The family formerly lived in Kansas,
but spent some time in Phoenix, leaving here recently
for Sam Diego. Chester was six years old.
Mrs. MARY A. JOHNSON
October 8, 1903
Mrs. Mary A. Johnson died last evening of pneumonia after a
short pronounced illness, though she has not been in good
health for some time. She was living with her son, W.R.
Johnson, a cattleman at Buckeye, and came to Phoenix last
Sunday, not feeling well at the time. She was 66 years
old. The funeral will be held at 2 o'clock this
afternoon at No. 1130 West Madison Street and interment
will be made at Rosedale cemetery. Rev. Dr. Halsey will
officiate at the funeral service.
MISS C.F. JONES
July 18, 1903
Telegraph messages were received here last night from
Chicago announcing that Miss C.F. Jones of Findlay Ohio
died late yesterday afternoon subsequent to a surgical
operation performed at Mercy Hospital by the family
physician Dr. J.T. Baker. It is presumed that Dr.
Baker was assisted by Dr. Lemke of Chicago who spent
last winter here and who was Miss Jones attending
physician here.
It will be remembered that she suffered a severe illness
here in the spring and it was then feared it might
terminate fatally so her mother, brother and the family
physician Dr. Baker were summoned from her home in
Findlay Ohio. After their arrival she improved and
it was decided to take her to Mercy Hospital in
Chicago, the entire party accompanying.
Miss Jones was very well known in Arizona, particularly
in Phoenix and Tucson and had a host of friends who will
mourn her death as a personal bereavement. She had not
enjoyed good health for some years though she did not
possess the appearance of an invalid and had been able
to mingle quite freely in the social functions of the
last six winters in this city, where she had spent
most of her time, stopping at the Hotel Adams.
SAM KORRICK
March 24, 1903
Sam Korrick died late yesterday afternoon after a hopeless
illness of some months. Death occurred at the residence of
Mrs. Levy on North Third Avenue. The funeral will take
place at Merryman and Holley's tomorrow morning at 10 o'
clock.
Mr. Korrick was thirty-three years of age and was born in
Iashinavki in the province of Grodno, Russia where his parents
still reside. He came to this country when he was quite
young and lived for some years in New York. About ten
years ago he went to El Paso where he remained about
three years, coming thence to Phoenix. He then started
the New York Store, which by the way was his first
business venture on his own account but he brought into
it the admirable training he had received in the east.
He at once entered upon a career which became phenomenal.
His beginning was in a small way, but the growth of his
business was steadily rapid. He did more than to merely
succeed. He revolutionized the mercantile business in
this city, and though he was a most energetic competitor
when it was supposed that competition was unhealthy, the
methods he introduced having been adopted by other
merchants, they themselves profited by his coming. It may
be said that no other man has left such a deep impression
upon the mercantile life of Phoenix.
But business after all was only a small part of his life.
The other side of it, the moral and religious side, was
beautiful. It was another of the many proofs that a man
may be a highly successful business man and at the same
time a deeply religious and earnest man. He was a
follower of the faith of his fathers and officiated
at the religious observances of the Jews in this city
to which there is no regular congregation. He was
also an extremely charitable man, but his charity was
by no means confined to the people of his own faith.
His hand was open to all the poor who called upon him
and were worthy. No man in Phoenix was so much his
enemy as to charge him with a dishonest act in his
business life, for he carried his religion into it
and the success he earned was the result of skill,
training and judgment.
The illness which carried him off began about two years
ago and during the last few months he had been most of
the time confined to his home. Four years ago he was
joined by his younger brother, Charles to whom he turned
over his affairs a few days ago and by whom the business
will be carried on. Recently a cousin came here from the
old country. There are other relatives more or less
remote in New York and San Francisco.
ALEXANDER ANNAND
September 29, 1888
Alexander Annand who has been sick for some time was found
dead in bed at a quarter past eight o'clock this morning. His
sudden demise cannot be accounted for as he was supposed to be
convalescent and was on the street yesterday and was up at five
o'clock this morning.
BOB CLARK
January 19, 1889
The Prospector reports the fatal shooting of Bob Clark by Sid
Harris at Bisbee on Sunday last. Clark objected to Harris going
with his sister-in-law which is assigned as the cause of the
shooting.
JOSEPH COSTA
June 1888
Joseph Costa, a miner at the Silver King, who attempted to jump
into the ascending cage, failed and was caught between the cage
and timbers and his head was crushed causing instant death.
JOHN H. DONLEY
October 13, 1888
Henry Dishmond, charged with killing John H. Donley at San
Carlos on the 23rd of last month, was examined yesterday
before the U.S. commissioner and was held to answer without
bonds, to appear before the U.S. grand jury at Phoenix.
Both the accused and deceased were colored soldiers. The
trouble was over a game of cards.
WALTER FITZSIMMONS
September 29, 1888
Walter Fitzsimmons, aged 54, a native of Ireland, died in
Globe Sept. 23, 1888. During the Rebellion he served in the
79th New York regiment and at the time of his death he was
an exemplary member of the Colonel Alexander Post GAR of
Globe. His funeral was largely attended by the members of
the Post and by citizens.
