August 16, 1896

A gloom was cast over this community this morning when
the announcement was made that Mrs. R.E. Morrison had
died very suddenly during the early morning hours.
Her condition three or four days ago was such that
Dr. McCandless, the attending physician, called Dr.
Hall in consultation and both physicians expressed
the opinion that the case was a very serious one,
although it was thought yesterday that the crisis
had passed. Her husband and sister felt quite
encouraged at her apparently improved condition and
confidently hoped that she would be up and around in
a few days. At daylight this morning she was awake

SIDNEY TEDROW
August 20, 1896

A peculiar case has been developed in the death of Sidney S.
Tedrow, the 11 year old of son of J.W. Tedrow. The boy died
Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, but some person notified
Justice Johnstone that the death was not a natural one and
that official impannelled a coroner's jury and held an
inquest as to the cause of the lad's death, bringing out
the following facts:

About six weeks ago young Tedrow and a few companions were
playing near their homes on Fourth Avenue near Jackson
Street. Among his companions was Hank Wylie, a lad about
15 years old. While playing the youngsters began fighting
among themselves, young Tedrow getting the worse of it.
He started for home crying and Hank Wylie, the oldest of
the group ran after him. He caught Tedrow as he was about
to step onto the porch of a neighbor. He grabbed him by
the throat with one hand and the back of the head with the
other. He then bumped the boy's forehead against a post of
the porch. Young Wylie said nothing to his parents about
the occurrence, but three days after he complained of severe
pain in his head. Dr. T.F. Childs was called and arroded
the lad some relief but every few days the pains would
return. Dr. Childs finally called Dr. Dameron in
consultation.

By this time a sore spot appeared on the patient's forehead
which soon commenced to discharge pus. The physicians saw
from the nature of the sore that the place had been bruised
but the boy would not state how it happened. After a week
young Tedrow related the circumstances of his beating.
The lad was not confined to his bed until a couple of days
before his death.

Coroner Johnstone and the physicians yesterday morning made
an examination of the remains. An incision was cut around
the sore place when it was found that the frontal bone had
been fractured. The fracture was two inches in length and
one inch wide.

At the inquest several of the companions of the dead lad
testified to the treatment he received at the hands of
Wylie and the physicians stated that the fracture ws the
direct cause of death.

Hank Wylie, the boy who was the means of Tedrow's death,
stands accused of murder and a warrant has been issued
for his arrest. He is at present at the head of the Arizona
canal. His father says that he is a wild youth and has
an ungovernable temper. He expressed deep sorrow that his
son was the means of Tedrow's death but is disposed to let
the law take its course. There is some speculation as to
whether Wylie can be held on the charge of murder as at
the time of the trouble he clearly had no intention of
badly hurting the youth.

W.J. ST. CROIX
Arizona Republican Newspaper
June 6, 1903

James Rose yesterday received a letter from Mrs. W.J. St.
Croix announcing the death on May 9 of her husband who
was quite well known among the business men of the city
by reason of his connection with the Phoenix mine as
bookkeeper. He came to this country for his health.
He left about two months ago for El Paso and took the
position of head clerk at the Angelus Hotel. He
remained at his post until it was evident that he
had but a few days to live and then started for his
home in Chicago, accompanied by his wife. His death
occurred on the train just before it reached Topeka.

BABY STEELE
Arizona Republican Newspaper
November 12, 1903

The little boy -- one of the twins of Mr. and Mrs. Dan W.
Steele -- died yesterday afternoon and the funeral was held
at 2 o'clock today from the tabernacle. The child was but
a few months old and was first taken sick at 2 o'clock
Sunday morning. It did not seem to be seriously ill,
however, until a short time before death when a hemorrhage
occurred and the little one passed quietly away.

The family live on the George Ellsworth place. Mr. Steele
is absent in Grand Junction Colorado. Word was sent him
but he could not reach here in time for the funeral.

FLORENCE STODDARD
Arizona Republican Newspaper
June 19, 1903

Florence, daughter of Secretary and Mrs. Isaac T.
Stoddard, died at 7 o'clock last night at the home of
her grandfather, Judge Martin Binghamton, N.Y. Her
death had been more than indicated in a story in the
Republican yesterday morning describing a turn for the
worse in her condition. Not long ago it was found that
she was suffering of diabetes mellitus, the gravest
form of that disease in itself always serious enough
and six weeks ago she was sent to Philadelphia and was
put in the care of one of the most eminent specialists
in the United Sates. No assurance resulting from his
examination and treatment of Miss Stoddard was held out ,
still her friends were hopeful of her recovery. Leaving
Philadelphia she went to the home of her grandfather
and word was sent to her parents almost daily that her
condition had not changed.

The telegram announcing that she had passed way said
that the end was painless. She sank into a sleep from
which she passed to death.

Late on Wednesday Secretary Stoddard received a
telegram saying she had sunk into what is known as
a diabetes coma. Mrs. Stoddard, her son and Roy S.
Goodrich at once left for Binghamton. The secretary
was detained by his duties as acting governor.
