died on Tuesday night about three miles from the city. His remains

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

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
