The funeral of Thomas Tulley will be held this morning at
10 o'clock at the parlors of Mohn and Dorris. Mr. Tulley
died at the Sisters Hospital on March 31 after a very brief
illness of pneumonia. He came here last fall with George
Klotzbach when he returned from New York with the Greene
race horses and was employed a winter at the Greene stables.
Mr. Klotzbach says he was a good man and a good horseman.
When Mr. Klotzbach learned of his illness he had him taken
to the Sisters Hospital and secured a nurse and medical
attention but it availed nothing and Mr. Tulley died the
next day. He had no immediate family but his relatives
reside at Phillipsburg N.J. and the funeral has been
delayed, pending instructions from them.

Arizona Republican Newspaper
The following from the issue of October 5 of the La Voz
Publica, published at Santa Rosa New Mexico, relates to
the death of a young man very well known in Phoenix:
Judge Frank M. Turrill who died at Santa Rosa, N.M. October
1, 1905, was born at Pleasant Ridge, a suburb of Cincinnati
Ohio on St. Valentine's Day 1867. His father, H.B. Turrill
was a well known lawyer in Cincinnati where he and a
brother of the deceased, George A. Turrill continued
the practice of law.
In early life the subject of our sketch entered the
postal service and for eight years was chief clerk in
the Cincinnati post office.
Ill health compelled him to resign and he spent several
years in Phoenix, Arizona. On his return to Cincinnati
he attended the law school from which he graduated in
1895. He again sought health in Arizona.
In 1898 he organized Co. K, Eleventh Ohio Volunteers for
service in the Spanish War. The regiment however was not
mustered tin the service as Ohio had only ten regiments
in the field. Determined to go to Cuba, he entered the
postal service where he served with honor in Havana and
Cienfuegos. In Havana he had yellow fever.
On his return to Ohio, he concluded to come to Santa Rosa,
where he has been located since September 1901. Here in
January last, he was nominated and elected justice of the
peace. He was unmarried.
His brother in response to a telegram from Dr. Bakes
hurried to Santa Rosa but arrived too late to see Judge
Turrill alive. His remains were buried in Evergreen
Cemetery.
HOWARD L. UNDERHILL
Arizona Republican Newspaper
May 7, 1905
Howard L. Underhill died very suddenly yesterday morning at
10 o'clock at his home in Scottsdale. His death was entirely
unexpected, though he had been ill for some time of a
complication of diseases affecting the kidneys. Nevertheless
he had not been confined to his bed and only an hour or so
before his death he had been across the street from his home
to the little store in Scottsdale and seemed cheerful though
feeling badly. To most of his acquaintances in Phoenix who
were not intimate with him, he appeared to be a man of rugged
health for one of his age, which was fifty-nine.
Mr. Underhill is survived by his wife and a fourteen year old
son who are here and a daughter about twenty years old, who
has been for some months visiting with relatives in New York.
It was reported last night that the interment would be in the
Double Butte Cemetery, though the date of the funeral has not
been announced.
Mr. Underhill was a native of New York and came to this valley
about nine years ago, settling at Scottsdale, and at once
becoming a leading citizen of that community and well known and
highly esteemed in this city. He built the nicest residence
in that suburban village, which is in the center of the orange
belt and was a quite well known man.

home of Mr. and Mrs. E.M. Depew, No. 849 North First Street.
Mr. Utley who was the father of Mrs. Depew came here about four
years ago from Riverside California. He was a native of
Pennsylvania and went to northern California about thirty
years ago. He was 83 years of age and death resulted from
complications attending his advanced years. He had been
ill for some time though he was confined to his bed for a
week or so. The funeral will be held this afternoon at 4

the Phoenix church.
Miguel Valenzuela
November 13, 1905
Arizona Republican Newspaper
The shooting near Arlington on Saturday developed into a
homicide yesterday afternoon. Information of the death of
Miguel Valenzuela who was shot by Benito Lopez, was
received at the office of the sheriff from Deputy Sheriff
Charles Williams about the middle of the afternoon. Last
night the Republican had a telephone message from Charles
Peterson of the Arlington Cattle Company who told the
story of the killing.
For some time Valenzuela had been paying attention to the
wife of Lopez, who lives on a ranch not far from Arlington.
Lopez knew of this relation but had never vigorously tried
to break it up. He returned to his house about one o'clock
on Saturday and surprised Valenzuela with his arm around
Mrs. Lopez. Notwithstanding this thing had been going
on for some time, Lopez instead of having become used to
it had become morbidly sensitive but before proceeding to
exteme measures he ordered Valenzuela out of the house.
He refused to go and then Lopez got a 22 caliber rifle and
began the work of eviction in earnest. He pointed the gun
at Valenzuela and just as he pulled the trigger, Mrs. Lopez
tried to turn the muzzle of the gun aside. The bullet went
through her right hand and into the stomach of Valenzuela.
It was not at first thought that he was seriously wounded.
The fact that he was able to walk and the further fact
that the weapon was of such a small caliber made the
neighbors believe that it was not a serious affair.
But in an hour Valenzuela was a very sick man and never
got any easier until two o'clock yesterday. He was
about forty years of age and unmarried.
At the time of the telephone message was sent the inquest
was awaiting the arrival of Acting Coroner Barkley,
justice of the Buckeye precinct. Attorney Bullard, on
hearing of the death of Valenzuela ordered Lopez held
without bail.

MRS. JOHN VAN TYLE
Arizona Republican Newspaper
March 18, 1905
Mrs. John Van Tyle died at her home on Seventh Street at
twenty minutes past eleven Thursday night. She has been
critically ill for the past four months and for several
weeks has been on the verge of death. Her sufferings during
that time were terrible and death came as a relief from pain.
During the last few days she was unable to take nourishment
though she was conscious all the time up to a few hours before
her death. She was in her eighty third year and death resulted
from old age and general debility. In view of the fact that
an obit of her life will appear in this paper at a later date
it is sufficient at the present time to say that hers was a
noble character and her death will be mourned not only by her
relatives and intimate friends but by those who have ever met
her. She had been an active member of the Congregational
church for years up to the time of her sickness four months
ago and the funeral will conducted by Rev. F.L. Drew, the
pastor of that church tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock from
the house. The interment will be made in Double Butte Cemetery.
