Mrs. Loretta McDonald, wife of Mr. S.J. McDonald, died
at 3 o'clock yesterday morning of consumption, after a
long and hopeless illness. The funeral will take place
this morning at nine o'clock from the Catholic Church.
Mrs. McDonald was the daughter of Mrs. Sarah Huntington

two brothers and two sisters mourn her loss. She was
born at Halleck Nevada, twenty seven years ago, but the
greater part of her life has been spent in Phoenix.
She was married to Mr. McDonald not quite two years ago.
Her decline in health began about a year ago and was
steady. She was a dutiful and loving girl and a good
woman. Her weight of illness from which there was no
hope of recovery, was borne without a murmur. Her last
hours were made as pleasant as they could be in the gloom
of the shadow of Death.
Mrs. McDonald was engaged in teaching for some time and
was ever successful and popular with her pupils.
Friends will meet at the residence, 1400 East Jefferson
Street at eight o'clock this morning and escort the

WILLIE McWILLIAMS
September 7, 1902
Willie McWilliams, a two year old child was drowned in a
ditch two miles northeast of the city yesterday afternoon.
The drowning occurred at the ranch of Miles Perkins. The
child was staying there with his grandmother Mrs. Von Rick,
who came here from New Mexico about six months ago. The
parents of the babe are living but they have been separated
and do not live in this part of the country.
Several children were playing along the ditch, which runs
close to the house. They had a make believe dinner party
on the opposite side of the ditch under the trees. The
other children were called away and crossed to the house
on a narrow footbridge. It is supposed that the babe in
trying to follow them fell off the bridge but it was not
missed for a minute or more, it's grandmother, who was
engaged at work in the kitchen had been keeping watch
over it, and she says that she had seen it not a minute
before it was missed.
Search was made for it about the house but with a fear that
it had fallen into the water, which was running very swiftly.
Just below the footbridge there is a bridge across the
stream and it was almost filled. Not more than fifteen
minutes after it had fallen into the water a couple of
Mexicans, who were irrigating on the ranch of Colonel
Christy, were horrified to see a babe brought along on
the swift current. One of them took it out of the water
and carried it to Colonel Christy's house. No one there
at that time had heard of the missing child. Attorney
J.M. Langston came along while the crowd was gathered
about the body and recognized it as the babe he had
seen playing on the Perkins ranch. He carried the body
across the fields to the grief stricken grandmother.
Mr. Langston brought word of the drowning to Justice
Burnett, who impaneled a coroners jury and went out
to the Perkins ranch. The jury, having viewed the
remains and heard the circumstances rendered a
verdict of accidental drowning.
