SOUTHWICK, David

Mohave County Miner Kingman Arizona March 7, 1903 Death of Hon David Southwick Last Saturday afternoon the soul of Hon David Southwick passed over the great divide. He had been ill for the past year and his death was not unexpected. Hon David Southwick was born in the city of Springfield Illinois sixty four years ago and was a veteran of the civil war After the close of the rebellion he went to Montana, where he worked in the placer mines for some time coming to Mohave county nearly thirty five years ago. He was one of the builders of this great county and during all these years was one of its foremost citizens. He represented the county well and honorably two terms in the territorial legislature. He was a generous hearted man with the noblest of instincts. Every man who knew him was a friend. J W Thompson's one of his lifelong friends took charge of the remains and the funeral was held from the M E church Monday morning Revs Decker and Blakely conducting the services. The little church was crowded with old friends and acquaintances of deceased who congregated there for the purpose of paying the last tribute of respect to a honored pioneer. May his last sleep under the bright skies of the land of his adoption be his best.
