| The Arizona Journal-Miner, Prescott Arizona Friday, June 23, 1899 John Raible, a pioneer citizen and business man of Prescott, died at his home in the city early yesterday morning, of dropsy. He was 64 years of age and leaves a wife, two daughters and one son, all residents of Prescott. His son Charles is in California on a visit. A telegram asked to his father's condition, since a few days ago, failed to reach him. John Raible came to Prescott in 1864 in all the years of his residence, his reputation has been that of a most honorable man and exemplary citizen. He, in company with Dan Hatz, built the Fleury log house in west Prescott, the first territorial Capitol building. He was one of the pioneer brewers of Prescott, and before the advent of railroads did a wholesale business in that line. He showed his abiding faith in Prescott by making investments in Prescott real estate and never lost faith in the future greatness of the town he labored so many years to build up. The funeral will take place at 4 p.m. today from the family residence On Cortez St., East side plaza. See Also: Arizona Gravestone Photo Project |
