| The Arizona Weekly Journal-Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Wednesday, December 19, 1906, page 2, column 3 Henry L. Stoddard Dies After Short Illness (From Wednesday's Daily) Henry L. Stoddard, aged abut 65 years, and a native of New York, died yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at Huron, after an illness of only a few days, the fatal malady being pneumonia. His remains were brought to this city last evening, to be prepared for interment. He leaves no immediate relatives in this county but a number in New York and Pennsylvania, who were notified of his death, which was entirely unexpected and a shock to his many friends here. Deceased came to this Territory over thirty years ago, since when he followed the occupation of miner and prospector, up to the time when attached by the fatal malady. As a proof of success he leaves valuable mining interests in the Big Bug and other districts, and it was only the day before his death that the representative of an eastern syndicate bonded the Jim Crow and Columbus mines in the town of McCabe for a large amount, he being a large owner in both properties, which he had held in his possession for many years, only to die before enjoying the fruits of his labor and good judgment. He was a man of genial personality, of a kind and generous nature, brave and charitable, and endowed with the characteristics of manhood of the pioneers who blazed the pathway for a modern civilization in this Territory and assisted in subduing the wily Apache. Funeral arrangements will be announced later. Transcriber's note: Mr. Stoddard is buried in an unmarked grave at the Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona. |
