| Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, Arizona January 5, 1962 Johnson death is believed caused by gas asphyxiation CLARENCE JOHNSON, 57 hear-old resident of Wagoner, was found dead in a room of a local motel at 10:39 a.m. Monday. Judge R.I. Westall, acting as corner, said it appeared that death was caused by asphyxiation. Although the gas heater in the room was vented, says Chief of Police Dick Savage, the room was closed tight. Judge Westall convened a jury to visit the scene of death and then recessed until a court reporter is available later in the week to complete an inquest. Mr. Johnson, a cousin of Bill Nelson of Wickenburg had checked in the motel December 30. Chief Savage says it is believed that death occurred sometime the night of December 31. He was found when Mr. Nelson went to see him. Funeral services were scheduled to be held at 5 p.m. Thursday of this week in the Wickenburg Chapel with the Rev. Robert Jenkins officiating. Burial was to be in the Wickenburg Cemetery with the American legion conducting graveside rites. Mr. Johnson who was employed on the Nel Cooper ranch, is survived by one son, Clarence Wilbur Johnson, who is in the air Force and station in the Pacific area. See Also: Find A Grave |
