Jose Jimenez Rites In Aguila

Graveside services and burial took place Saturday at the Aguila Cemetery for Jose A. Jimenez, who died November 10 at the McDowell Hospital in Phoenix. His death was a shock to his many friends in Wickenburg and Aguila.

Coming to the United States from Nicaragus 49 years ago ,at the age of 17, Mr. Jimenez be came a citizen at the age of 21 and his pride in his citizenship was boundless.

For a number of years he was in business in Illinois, coming to Aguila some years ago where he purchased the Rowe Motel, which he beautified with cactus and flowers until it became a source of pride to residents of Aguila. He also operated the Westerner Cafe for a time. Two years ago he sold his property in Aguila and moved to Phoenix, where he purchased a motel. He returned to Wickenburg and Aguila frequently to renew his warm ties in both towns.

Mr. Jimenez' nephew, Alfredo, serving with the U.S. Armed Forces in Japan, was sent back by the army, arriving at his uncle's bedside just five days before death came.

Besides the nephew, he leaves a sister and another nephew in Costa Rica.
