GIDEON, John Perry

Paper: Prescott Morning Courier Date: February 27 1902 Kingman, Az. Feb. 24, 1902 About 1:30 o'clock this morning pistol shots gave alarm of fire and the house of Joseph Gideon was found to be in flames and was soon a mass of ashes. Mr. Gideon and his son, Johnnie, a young man about 19 years of age, were the sole occupants of the dwelling. The father escaped witha slight scorching, but the son was not so fortunate, as he was burned beyond recognition, nothing being left but a headless trunk. This is the fourth death by fire in the last month here.
