| Arizona Weekly Journal-Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Wednesday, March 23, 1898, page 1, column 4 Her Rest Will Be Unbroken Mrs. Small, better known by the name of her former husband, Mrs. Smith, sister of Mrs. Collumber, died at an early hour this morning of pneumonia, superinduced by an attack of the grippe. She had only been sick a couple of days, and her condition was not at all considered critical. At 3 o'clock this morning her nurse visited her to give her some medication, but was told by Mrs. Small not to bother her that she was feeling very comfortable and wanted to be et alone and permitted to rest. At 4 o'clock the nurse again called but her patient seemed to be resting easy, and she was not disturbed. Another visit was made at 5 o'clock, when, to the great surprise of the nurse, the patient was found to be cold. Dr. Dutcher was hastily summoned, but on his arrival, he pounced her dead, and gave it as his opinion that she had been dead for a couple of hours. The husband of the deceased lives in San Bernardo, California, and was notified of his wife's death. Besides her mother, Mrs. Ray, and her sister, Mrs. Collumber, she leaves four children, a grown son and daughter, Walter and Jessie Smith, and Ada and Arthur Small, aged respectively about 8 and 6 years. Mrs. Jessie Smith has been residing in Washington, D.C. for several years and Walter has been in the Verde valley. -------------------- Weekly Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Wednesday, March 23, 1898, page 3, column 2 (From Friday's Daily) The funeral of Mrs. Small, occurred this morning at 11 o'clock.
