She was 75 years old. Her parents, Hannah Shivers and Robert Postle, pioneered in the Chino valley area, settling on the ranch 18 miles north of here where Fort Whipple was established December 21, 1863. John A. Goodwin, first territorial governor, and his party stayed at the fort until the capital was established at Prescott the following May. The fort then was removed to its present site a mile north of here. Mrs. Pemberton, widow of the late Sam Pemberton, rancher, attended Tempe Normal School and later taught in Miller Valley several years. Survivors include half-brother Carl Rees, and Helen Postle, sister-in- law, both of Chino valley. See Also: Arizona Gravestone Photo Project |
