LAST RITES FOR PIONEER RESIDENT
Felipe Garcia Passes Away After Lingering Illness;
Prominent in Civil Affairs Of the Town

Funeral services were conducted at the St. Anthony’s Catholic church for Felipe Garcia Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock, with interment in the Catholic cemetery. He passed away at his home here last Monday after a long illness.

He was born at Ehrenburg, Ariz., 70 years ago. In the past he was very active in the civil affairs of Wickenburg, serving on the city council at one time. He leaves many friends here who will always remember his effort in boosting and building Wickenburg – the town he loved. In the early time he was a peace officer near Octave, later serving many years on the public school board. He was also in the cattle business here and was the cattle inspector for a short time.

Recently he was connected with the state penitentiary as a guard at the time A. G. Walker was warden. His health had been failing for a number of months. He was one of the early pioneers of this vicinity, and his passing will be mourned by the many friends who have known him through the years.
