JACOB MARTINI
February 16, 1892

The Viuda M. Martini requests me to ask you to offer her
sincere gratitude to the friends of her late husband Jacob
Martini for their kind attentions during his illness and
for the celebration of his obsequies. Mr. Martini was a
naturalized German, who had lived in Arizona for more
than twenty years; and by his amiable disposition and
honesty of character had won the esteem of all with
whom he had intercourse.

The Viuda M. Martini was an Orozeo and belonged to one of
the oldest and most respected Mexican families of Arizona.
She has six children for whom the sympathy of the community
is respectfully solicited. C.D.P.

Probate of will

JUDGE J.D. McCABE
April 19, 1892

Judge J.D. McCabe, district attorney of Gila County died
very suddenly Saturday night at his residence in Globe of
hemorrhage of the stomach. He was in usual health until
evening and Saturday afternoon argued an important law
case. He was taken suddenly after supper and died about
9 o'clock. His funeral yesterday afternoon was largely
attended.

BERT McNULTY
January 29, 1892

It was a sad blow his many friends received shortly after
one o'clock yesterday afternoon when it was announced that
Bert McNulty was dead. Several days ago he was taken down
with the grippe, which developed into pneumonia and caused
his death.

"Bert" as he was called by his companions, was 20 years of
age, and the son of Phoenix's esteemed citizen and
enterprising business man, W.F. McNulty. Bert had
grown up nearly to manhood in this city, and was
popular with and beloved by all who had the pleasure
of his acquaintance. His was a loveable, kind
disposition and he had won the respect and confidence
of everyone by his manliness, vigor and uprightness.
The shock and grief of his demise has caused his
parents an indescribable sorrow. The funeral will
take place from the family residence, Murphy Addition,
at 3 o'clock this afternoon.

The Funeral
January 30, 1892

Yesterday afternoon the body of Bert McNulty was laid to
rest, the remains being accompanied to the cemetery by
hundreds of people who had assembled to pay their last
respects to the dead and offer condolence to the bereaved
parents.

The obsequies were held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs.
W.F. McNulty, Murphy Addition and the spacious house was
inadequate to accommodate those present. Rev. G.L.
Pearson read the burial services of the M.E. Church
and followed these with a few remarks. A quartette
consisting of Miss Helen Byers, Mrs. Webb, Rev. Pearson
and D.C. Williams sang several appropriate verses, after
which the body was taken to the cemetery, the pall
bearers being: George F. Spangenberg, Dave Goldberg,
Capt. J.W. Crenshaw, D.C. Williams, Earl Peck and
Willian Weidmeir.

ABRAHAM PEEPLES
January 29, 1892

The insignia of death flutters from the entrance to the
Miner's Exchange Saloon on Washington Street and the hardy,
warm hearted, impulsive prospector of the earth's gold and
silver treasurers who make the place their rendezvous, are
silent and hushed by grief for their "old pard" has been
summoned to join the great majority. Abraham H. Peeples,
a pioneer Arizonian, miner, prospector and philanthropist,
died from the effects of pneumonia yesterday afternoon at
the age of 70 years.

Mr. Peeples was a veteran of the Mexican War and emigrated
to Arizona in 1863. He was attracted to this territory
while engaged in mining in California, and starting for
Yuma he there organized a company of some fifty men for
the purpose of prospecting the mineral resources. The
outfit went up the Colorado River to what is now known as
Ehrensburg, and from there they journeyed 150 miles on
horses and afoot to the Antelope mountains, under they
being so christened by Mr. Peeples under peculiar
circumstances. He was in advance of his companions,
and suddenly came upon four antelopes drinking from a
creek that runs by the foot of the mountains, and
shooting into them he killed two of their number.
The accommodations the place offered for camping
purposes, induced the explorers to pitch their tents
here and in the morning they dipped gold from the
bottom of the stream near which they were camped.
During the day, four Mexicans who were with the party,
ventured to the top of the mountain and when they
returned to camp at night, they brought back with
them pockets full of gold nuggets. The find caused
intense excitement at the time and Mr. Peeples and
his party prospered and grew rich for a while from
the gold producing mine. They struck a basin which
was prolific and easy to work, and it is a matter of
record that in one day they dug out $16,000 worth of
gold nuggets from the property with their case knives.
The mine was worked until the production fell short of
paying the men $20 each a day and they then abandoned
it and went their respective ways.

Mr. Peeples settled down in Wickenburg and engaged in the
saloon and hotel business. He continued in those pursuits
until the town began to deteriorate and some ten years ago
he moved to Phoenix where he has ever since lived. He was
in business with George Roberts, and upon the death of the
latter was appointed executor of the estate, the duties of
which he discharged honestly. Until a short time ago,
when he sold out, Mr. Pepples conducted the Miner's
Exchange Saloon under a different name and since then he
has lived a life free from business cares.

No man was better known in Arizona that Peeples, and his
demise is deplored by a large circle of friends who know
him for his innumerable excellent qualities. He loved
his friends, shared his bounty liberally among them and
many survive him to sing praises of the goodness of his
heart.

The Funeral
January 31, 1892

The obsequies of A.H. Peeples from the undertaking rooms
of Randal and Davis yesterday afternoon were largely
attended. The remains reposed in a Charles E. Lewis
casket of oak, heavily draped with broadcloth and among
those who called to take a last look on the familiar
features of the deceased were veterans of the Mexican
War and a delegation of hardy miners who had worked
by his side in developing the treasures of the mountains
of Arizona. Several handsome floral designs were
contributed by Mrs. Robert Archy and Mrs. Marie
Williams. Rev. Mr. Pearson read the burial service
of the M.E. Church. The pall bearers were Sheriff
John S. Montgomery, G. Moore, Porter Moffitt, Col.
Posten, Benjamin Block and Joseph Thalheimer.

GEORGE T. RAYMOND
January 20, 1892

It will be remembered that a tintype was found on the body of
a murdered man at Tempe, some weeks ago, and was forwarded to
an address found in his pocket, Bedford, Mass. The evening
Standard of that place has the following concerning the same.

The picture taken from the body of a murdered man in Arizona,
was shown to be Nathan Taylor, No. 78 Middle Street, this
afternoon and he was very positive in pronouncing it to be
that of his brother in law, the late, Captain Asa Taber, of
Brockton. Mr. Taylor's daughter was also positive. Captain
Taber died several years ago and is understood to have two
sons living in Brockton.

A dispatch from Brockton dated January 6, to the same paper
says, "The late Captain Asa Taber of this city had some
tintypes taken in Honolulu in 1857. He gave one to Roland
Wilbar of New Bedford. He had one taken in 1875 which was
given to George L. Raymond of Brooklyn N.Y. who has been
missing since last May. The murdered man may be George T.
Raymond.
