| Prescott Evening Courier, Prescott, Arizona Wednesday, September 11, 1929, page 3, column 1 George Melvin Take To Rest George Melvin, keeper of the city dump north of Whipple, died at 9 o'clock in Mercy hospital last night of pneumonia. He was 70 years old. Last Friday a driver of a city garbage truck discovered Melvin in his hut, seriously ill. Arrangements were made for him to be taken to Mercy hospital late that afternoon. Since then, it is reported, he showed no sign of throwing off the disease; instead, his physical condition gradually became more critical. Due to the fact that he was of a quiet disposition and was not prone to speak of his private affairs, it is not known to the city authorities whether he has any relatives at all, although his private effects are to be gone over with the hope in view that more light may be thrown on the matter. Melvin has been a resident of Prescott for several years and in charge of the city dump for five or six years. He came here from California and is a Methodist by faith. Transcriber's note: Mr. Melvin is buried at the Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona. See Also: Arizona Gravestone Photo Project |
