A.B. BUCKLEY
July 14, 1897

Funeral services for Alexander B. Buckley were held at his late
home on North Third Avenue on the 12th inst, Dr. Halsey
officiating. The burial will take place at St. Louis, Mos.
his former home.

On the 19th of May last Mr. Buckley was married to Miss Minnie
Peintowski of Illinois who had the sympathy of many friends
in her great bereavement. Kind and sympathetic friends here
will never be forgotten by the mourning one to whom they
ministered with sisterly affection.

At the funeral service a quartet from the First Baptist Church
choir sand "Abide with Me" and "Rock of Ages." Mr. Buckley was
a member of the Methodist Church, a good citizen, a true
friend, an affectionate husband, a faithful Christian and
all who knew him mourn for him.

A.G. BURTON
May 21, 1897

A.G. Burton, who came here from Texas for his health last December,
died on Tuesday night about three miles from the city. His remains
were embalmed yesterday by W.H. Smith and sent to his former home,
where his wife is yet living. He was attended by his son during
his residence here.

FRED CADMUS
September 1, 1897

Fred Cadmus died yesterday morning at the county hospital, a
pauper. The usual telephone message announcing a pauper's death
was sent to the county undertakers, Randal and Davis. The usual
rough box was prepared for the enclosure of a pauper's remains
and the usual grave was dug in the Potter's Field for the
reception of the rough box and the pauper's corpse.

Before all these usual arrangements were carried out somebody
found among the pauper's effects a letter. Letters are often
found in the pockets of paupers but there was something about
this letter that conveyed an impression that the writer,
a woman, was a person of refinement and perhaps wealth.
The arrangement for the burial was arrested and other inquiries
were made. It was quickly discovered that there was a registered
letter at the post office addressed to the pauper. But he was
dead and had died without authorizing anybody to attach his
signature to the receipt. The letter, though, had come from
Bayonne, New Jersey. A telegram was sent to the writer of
the letter that had been found in the pauper's pocket, Eleanor
Cadmus, informing her that Frank Cadmus was dead and asking
what disposition should be made of the remains. A reply came
in the form of an inquiry as to what the cost of embalming and
forwarding the remains would be. It was ascertained that it
would altogether cost $250.

In the meantime a mighty respect was springing up for that
despised body which had been destined for the Potter's Field.
It was removed from the rough box and the embalming process was
begun while negotiations for its shipment were still in progress.
It is not often the Potter's field is cheated of a corpse. Late
last night a telegram was received from Eleanor Cadmus directing
the body to be sent to Bayonne, New Jersey and it will be done.

Nobody here knows yet precisely who Frank Cadmus was. It is known,
thought, that there is a family of that name in New Jersey, rich
and influential. One of its members, Cornelius A. Cadmus of
Patterson, M.J. represents the Fifth District of his state
in the Fifty Second and again in the Fifty Third Congress.

The name is not so common so that it is probably that Frank
Cadmus belonged to the same family. At any rate whoever his
relatives may be they are rich enough to pay for carrying
his dead body across the continent.

Nobody here remember when he came to Phoenix or under what
circumstances. He hd not been at the hospital very long and
when he went there he was dying. He was about 30 years old.

JAMES CALLIGAN
April 10, 1897

The body of James Calligan, who died here on Wednesday was sent
yesterday to New York, where his wife and mother reside. He was a
plumber by trade. He came here nearly a year ago and got a place
with Youngstrom and Welsh. He was suffering when he came here
from pulmonary trouble, but he seemed in a fair way to recover
from that when a disease of the stomach set in. He made many
friends in town.

MR. CANDELARIA
January 10, 1897

James Hughes the Big Horn saloonkeeper in Tombstone who killed a
Mexican some time ago, has recently had another shooting affray,
this time with a Mexican named Candelaria who attacked him with a
rifle because Hughes had asked him to pay a bill. Candelaria was
shot twice and subsequently died. Hugh was committed to jail on
the 21st.

EMILIO CARRILLO
January 9, 1897

Emilio Carrillo died Wednesday at the home of his father in
Tanque Verde. The deceased was a boy about nine years of age
and was the son of Emilio Carillo, an old time resident of
Tucson and a member of the Society of Pioneers.

ROBERT CLARK
January 6, 1897

Robert Clark of Kingman died at White Hills last Sunday of
pneumonia. Mr. Clark was one of the early settlers of Tombstone
where he amassed a fortune but lost it all in mining ventures.
He was buried in the hills Monday.

ISRAEL COON
March 17, 1897

Israel Coon, one of the early residents of Phoenix, died at
2:30 yesterday afternoon after a brief illness. He was the

an aged wife.

He was 70 yars of age and had lived in Phoenix more than twenty
years. He had an honorable war record and was an active member
of the grand army. The remains will be at Odd Fellows Hall from
9 am today until 4 pm when the funeral will take place under the
direction of the IOOF assisted by the GAR. The brethren of the
one and the comrades of the other are requested to be present.

CAPTAIN C.C. CROWLEY
July 10, 1897

Captain C.C. Crowley died yesterday morning after a long illness
of consumption. Captain Crowley came to Phoenix two years ago and
became business manager of the Gazette. His health grew worse
and he was compelled to abandon his position. He went to Prescott
last spring but returned not long ago.

He leaves a wife and six children in destitute circumstances.
His funeral will take place Friday under the direction of the
IOOF and the K of P of both of which he was a member. Before
his health failed he was a noted athlete and gave a most
distinguished performance ensuing the defeat of Duncan Ross,
the famous swordsman, ten years ago.

MICHAEL CROWLEY

Michael Crowley of Ashland Wisconsin died on Thursday at 546
East Washington Street of tuberculosis. His funeral will take

by his wife and sister who are still in the city. He was 36
years of age.

something of a killer himself. His gun bore seven notches.

It was attended by a large number of citizens who had known the
deceased personally or by reputation for many years.

W.T. DOBIE
April 6, 1897

Many residents of the valley will regret to learn of the death
of Mr. W.T. Dobie which occurred at Omaha, Nebraska, Feb. 27,
from pulmonary hemorrhage. Mr. Dobie spent the winter of 1895-6
in Phoenix and Mesa seeking this genial climate for the benefit
of his health with considerable success. He was a gentleman of
sterling qualities and warm friendships, who untimely end is
sincerely regretted by many personal friends throughout the
