| Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, AZ March 2, 1956, p. 1 Death Summons Howard Sanborn Funeral arrangements were pending Thursday for Howard S. Sanborn, widely known winter resident of Wickenburg, who died in his sleep at his home in Rochester, Minn., Tuesday night. He had gone to Rochester on a business trip last Sunday and was expected back this weekend. Although he had not been in the best of health over a period of years, Mr. Sanborn had seemed to be feeling better than usual this winter and the news of his sudden death came as a shock to this community where he had spent his winters since 1944. He built his large home, off the Prescott highway, in 1946, and for two winters prior to that he lived at the Diamond G Ranch. Mr. Sanborn was born February 8, 1893, in Maquoketa, Ia., but he spent most of his life in Minnesota where he was president of the Rochester Baking Co. He had been semi-retired the past few years. Mr. Sanborn helped organize and was a charter member of the Desert Caballeros. He was also a member of the Rochester Rotary Club. He is survived by his wife. Evelyn, a daughter, Patricia and son Mike, of Wickenburg and a son Robert of Rochester. Three grandchildren also survive. A sister, Miss Maurine Sanborn, is a resident of Stanton, Ariz. Another sister, Mrs. H. H. Coolidge resides in Clearwater, Fla., and a brother, C. M. Sanborn, is a resident of Sacramento, Calif. Mrs. Sanborn left by plane for Rochester Thursday. The family has requested no flowers and has suggested that instead, friends may wish to contribute to their favorite charity in memory of Mr. Sanborn. ---------------------------------- Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, AZ March 10, 1956 p. 10 Howard Sanborn Funeral March 3 - Funeral services for Howard S.
