BEHAN, Henrietta

The Miner, Prescott, Arizona Friday, March 9,1877 Death of Henrietta Behan Not often has it fallen to the lot of the Miner to be obliged to record the ravages of death, by disease in our midst, and never, within our recollection of Prescott life and death, have we approached the subject with so heavya heart as now. Little Henrietta Behan, the life and light of a large circle of the immediate friends and neighbors of her mother and grandmother, Mrs. Bourke, and a universal favorite in the town, as well as the idol of the public (has died) at the residence of her mother, Mrs. Victoria Behan, at the Comer of Granite and Willis streets, of Scarlatina. Had she lived until the 15th of June, she would have been eight years of age, and only eight days ago was well, and seemed the very personification of health and beauty. When we see and feel how hard it is for friends, neighbors, and school mates to give her up, and witness the sorrowful countenances and bitter tears of comparative strangers, we can, to some extent, realize the infinitely deeper and more poignant grief of those to whom she was nearest and dearest. Transcriber's Note: Henrietta is buried at the Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona in an unmarked grave near her mother in Section B.
