Dorothy, the two year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Burt Sutton,
died Thursday evening after lingering three days. The little
girl, swallowed a quantity of carbolic acid while visiting
with her mother, the Nichols at the Fortuna Mine north of
Phoenix. The little girl was hurried to Phoenix for medical
attention and later the same day was brought over here. The
local physicians in charge of te case gave very little hope
from the start.
Mr. Sutton has been in Globe for some time. When the condition
of the little girl was realized he was sent for by telegraph.
He received the wire Thursday monring and rode to the end of
the P. & E. hoping to catch that afternoon's train. He missed
it by just a few minutes and was obliged to lay over there
all that night. He arrived on yesterday afternoon's train.
The funeral will be held this morning at nine o'clock from
the Fellows home on Mcallister Street. The intemrent will
be made in Double Butte Cemetery.
WALTER TAYLOR
September 23, 1909
Tucson--Walter Taylor was mysteriously assassinated last
night outside his home in the outskirts of the city by means
of a rifle shot fired by an unknown assailant, and he died
instantly in the sight of his wife and two children.
The victim was an Englishman. He came here from Denver four
months ago and was employed as a bar tender. He formerly
resided in Kansas City where he was employed as a wholesale
liquor salesman. It is supposed that the killing was an act
of vengeance by someone who trailed the man here. Robbery
was not the motive.
MRS. ALFRED J. TEACHCOUT
March 25, 1909
Mrs. A.J. Teachout passed away at the family residence, 726 W.
Taylor Street, Tuesday morning, March 23 at 6 o'clock. She has
long been a sufferer of rheumatism, coming to Phoenix a year ago
from her home in Michigan for the benefit of climate. Her
improvement had been marked and rapid and her death from heart
failure comes upon her family as a sudden and unexpected
calamity. Mrs. Teachout was a devoted wife and mother, a
patient sufferer, of a bright, sunny nature and endeared
herself to all who came within the radius of her influence.
Many hearts will be sadder for her passing. She was born in
Matteson, Michigan, Nov. 17, 1846 and was married Nov. 8, 1871
to Alfred J. Teachout, who survives her. In addition to the
bereaved husband, she leaves behind two brothers, two sisters
and three sons, James L. of Wheeling, WV, Irving G. of Phoenix
and Leo A. of Youngstown, Ohio. The funeral has been arranged
for Friday morning at 8 o'clock from the Catholic Church of
which the deceased was a member. Interment will be made in
the Catholic Cemetery.
R.P. TEASDALE
June 13, 1909
R.P. Teasdale died yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock of
consumption, after a residence here of over a year. He
came here with his family from Utah and is survived by
Mrs. Teasdale and two children. The deceased was a
carpenter and followed his trade in Mesa until he became
too ill to work. He was a little over thirty years old
and was a son of Apostle Teasdale of the Mormon Church,
being himself a very devout member of that religious
faith. The funeral will be held in the tabernacle this
afternoon at 2:00 and will be conducted by Bishop Horne.
CHARLES S. TEETER
December 7, 1909
Charles S. Teeter, the eldest of the Teeter brothers, died
yesterday morning between eight and nine o'clock at his home
in Goldman's Addition after an illness of a few weeks of
typhoid pneumonia. The circumstances surrounding his death
are most pathetic and distressing and the news of his demise
came as a surprise yesterday to many who did not even know he
was sick. The saddest feature of the case is that Mrs. Teeter
is also critically ill, suffering from almost the same
complaint. Her condition yesterday was regarded as very
precarious even before her husband's death and it is decidedly
doubtful if she will survive the illness and the shock of his
death.
There has been an unusual amount of illness in the family for
several months. One of the little girls was confined to her
bed for months with a severe attack of typhoid fever and
though she eventually recovered, she is now far from well.
Another of the children has since suffered an attack of the
disease and is now ill with it. The sincerest sympathy of
the entire community is extended to the surviving members of
the family and everything possible for their comfort and care
is being done by friends and relatives.
Mr. Teeter was taken sick the latter part of last month and
was obliged to take to his bed the day before Thanksgiving.
The disease took a severe form and though everything possible
was done for him he gradually grew weaker until the end.
He was forty two years of age and is survived by his wife and
six children, two girls and four boys. Mr. Teeter has been a
resident of Arizona for nearly twenty years. He lived at
Arlington the greater part of this time and was one of the
first water users under the Arlington Canal.
The funeral arrangements have not yet been made on account
of the absence of relatives. There are three sisters living
in California and until it is known definitely that they
will come to attend the funeral the arrangements cannot be
announced. They cannot possibly get here before tomorrow
and the funeral will not be held before then. Joe Teeter,
a brother, will arrive this afternoon from Nogales.
March 17, 1909
HERBERT B. TENNEY
Herbert B. Tenney, cashier of the Consolidated National Bank in
Tucson was found dead this morning in his apartments at the
Owls' Club where for years he had resided with M.P. Freeman,
also of the bank and Leo Goldschmidt. Mr. Tenney had lately
returned from a visit with his sister, Mrs. Charles W. Williams,
of San Jose, Calif. Yesterday he was not feeling well and did
not appear at the bank at all. He left his rooms about 4 o'clock
in the afternoon and called his family physician, Dr. W.H. Fenner.
He returned to the club and remained in conversation with Freeman
and Goldshcmidt until about 9 o'clock. He then went to his rooms,
where he was found this morning by Mr. Freeman. Dr. Fenner was
of the opinion that he had been dead five or six hours. He
believed the cause of death which had overtaken him in his
sleep to be apoplexy.
Mr. Tenney was born in Monroe, Wisconsin, fifty years ago. He
had spent the greater part of his life on the coast and came
to Tucson in 1880 where he took a position with the Consolidated
bank of which his stepfather, the late W.C. Davis, was the chief
promoter. He became cashier of the bank twenty years ago and saw
it rise to be one of the leading financial institutions of the
southwest. Mr. Tenney leaves a large estate. He was never
married. His only surviving relatives are his mother, Mrs.
Davis and his sister, Mrs. Williams. The funeral will take
place here on Thursday afternoon.

May 20, 1909
Frank Tester of Chicago, died Tuesday night at the home of
Stephen Crandall. His mother-in-law, Mrs. Brady will accompany
the remains to Chicago this morning.
E.L. THEW
July 5, 1909
The funeral of E.L. Thew, whose death occurred here Friday
morning, was held yesterday afternoon from the M.E. church
and was attended by a large number of the friends of the
deceased. The services were conducted by Rev. Fisk and
the remains were then taken in charge by the Masons, the
burial being according to the ritual of that order. The
interment was made in the Double Butte Cemetery.
AUGUSTUS J. THIBODO
December 21, 1909
Dr. R. E. Lightburne has received a letter from Dr. O.J.
Thibodo of Los Angeles, who was recently bereaved in the
death of his wife, announcing a further bereavement in the
death of his brother, Dr. Augustus J. Thibodo, in that city
on December 17. The death of Dr. Thibodo will be read with
a great deal of regret by many of the earlier settlers for
he was a pioneer of Arizona, had lived in both Phoenix and
Prescott, and was a man of sterling worth and was highly
respected.
Dr. Augustus J. Thibodo was born in Kingston, Canada, in 1832
and was therefore seventy seven years old. He graduated from
Trinity College in Toronto and came to Phoenix in the 1870's,
practicing medicine here for some time. From here he went to
Prescott, where he practiced medicine for a few years. It was
during his residence there that Dr. Lightburne first met him.
Leaving Prescott, Dr. Thibodo went somewhere into the
northwest country where he practiced and was also engaged
to some extent in mining. Later he went back to Canada and
then returned to this country, making his home for many years
in Niagara Falls, N.Y. He returned to Phoenix again in the
1890's and remained for a while but did not practice.
Several years ago both brothers went from here to Los Angeles.
During his residence in Arizona he was closely affiliated
with the Masonic fraternities and will be remembered by many
of the older members of that order in the territory.
The body was taken from Los Angeles to Niagara Falls for
interment beside that of his wife, who died a number of
years ago and the funeral was to have been held there
yesterday. He is survived by two sons, one an attorney of
Niagara Falls and the other a practicing physician of
California.
