MONROE MURPHY
September 5, 1910, Arizona Republican

Monroe Murphy, aged 73 and a long time resident of this valley
died at his homestead cabin near Liberty, probably on Thursday
though his death was not discovered until Saturday. The body
was found Saturday morning by neighbors, sitting in a chair and
as though death had come suddenly and without warning. The
sheriff and coroner were notified but it seemed unnecessary to
hold an inquest as there was no doubt that death
resulted from natural causes and the body being in
very bad condition was ordered in the Liberty Cemetery.

Undertaker George Driscoll went to Liberty yesterday and
directed the interment of the body. Deceased was not widely
known though he was well known in his more immediate
neighborhood. He was something of a recluse having lived
on his homestead near Liberty for the last fifteen years,
being a neighbor of John Norton and Nick Sanders.
He is survived by no relatives in these parts, and
if he has relatives elsewhere their whereabouts are unknown.

home in Indianapolis, accompanied by her two sons.
Mrs. Robinson was a native of New York and during her

Arizona Central Bank of Flagstaff and McDonald Robinson,
manager of the Arizona Central bank branch at Williams.

Larry Ware
January 1, 1910
Arizona Republican Newspaper

From the effects of a prolonged debauch and exposure
Larry Ware, 39 years of age, died in the cell at the
city hall jail at noon yesterday. Little is known of
the man and he left no effects from which could be
learned the names of his relatives if he has any.

Ware was arrested early Sunday morning. He went to
sleep at a table in the French Kitchen and the proprietor
called up the police to have him removed. He had about
$43 and was released the same day on a $5 bail. The man
had sobered up by that time and Marshal Moore gave him
all of his money except $20, five of which he retained
as surety and the other $15 the marshal said he would
keep for him till Ware returned for it.

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday passed and Ware did not
come after his money or appear for trial on a charge of
intoxication, thereby forfeiting his bail. Thursday
morning Ware appeared at the station and asked the
marshal for his money. He had been drinking some but
was not intoxicated. Moore gave him ten dollars and
said he would give him the rest later. Late Thursday
night Captain Franklin found the man helplessly
intoxicated at First and Madison Streets. As Franklin
approached him Ware Stumbled and fell. He was placed
in the jail and went to sleep at once on the bare
floor.

Yesterday morning he was still sleeping and efforts to
wake him up were futile. Dr. Beauchamp was sent for.
He worked over the man for some time with little effect.
About noon Marshal Moore sent for Dr. Beauchamp again
but Ware died shortly after his arrival. The body was
turned over to Moore and McLelland.

J. C. WRIGHT
September 22, 1910
Arizona Republican

The funeral of J.C. Wright who died a few days ago at Long Beach,
California will be held from the Central Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, today at 3 p.m. Rev. C.R. Gray will conduct the
funeral service. Interment will be at Greenwood Cemetery.

In the passing of Mr. Wright the valley loses one of its old
and respected citizens, he having lived in the valley for
twenty-four years and in Arizona for nearly thirty-two years.
He would have been 79 years old in October had he lived and was
born in the state of Arkansas October 18, 1831.

Mr. Wright belonged to a class of the early pioneers who are
rapidly passing away. In his young manhood he served four years
in the Civil War in the Confederate armies.
After the war in the year 1869, with a train of sixty families
he made his way from Arkansas to southern California with ox
teams, no transcontinental line then being completed. In the
Spring of 1879 he moved to northern Arizona where he engaged in
rearing cattle and ranching making his home for eight years in
one of the valleys about two to five miles from Prescott.
In November of 1886 he moved to the Salt River Valley where he
has since lived, his attention in the valley has generally been
given to farming and stock raising. He was identified with
the early settlers of Buckeye in the development of the valley,
being for several years a member of the board of directors
of the original Buckeye Canal Company.

Mr. Wright has for the last ten years lived on his ranch near
Alhambra, where he has enjoyed the confidence and esteem of
his neighbors and friends.
He has been a rugged man of great endurance, having had good
health until five years ago when he broke down.
Since that time he has been very feeble, though he suffered
but little until last April when he showed signs of rapid
failure. In May he went to Long Beach where he stayed
until the end.

He leaves of his own family, his wife, Mrs. Mary E. Wright, two
daughters, Mrs. John R. Norton and Mrs. P.S. Hughes of Tucson,
and two sons, Rev. Robert E. Wright, pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church of Douglas and John C. Wright who lives on the
old home place. Mrs. I.M. Collins, an aged lady who lives west
on the Yuma Road is a sister.

Mr. Wright has been a member of the Methodist church for more
than fifty years. He loved his church and the cause it
represented. In the early days in northern Arizona
when the missionary was seldom seen he conducted a Sunday
School and often when no minister was available he did what
he could to relieve the sorrows of those who
mourned by conducting the funerals of their dead in a
Christian like manner. He always seemed greatly pleased that
his oldest son chose the ministry for his life's work.

He was one of those sturdy men who seemed never to be afraid
to be honest or to do right. The passing of such a worthy
can but be sad to those who knew him and especially
to his family, yet there is reason for gratitude in
that it seemed to be the natural ending of the life of a
worthy man of whom only good can be said.

Funeral of Willie Tribolet
September 13, 1905

The funeral of Willie Tribolet was held yesterday
afternoon at 4 o'clock at the family residence. A
large attendance of friends of the young man and of
the family was present to pay the final respects to
a very popular youth whose untimely death occurred
the day before.
