HOOD, Joseph (Joe)

Prescott Evening Courier, Prescott, Arizona Territory Tuesday, October 27, 1903, page 3 Sunday last, while out hunting, Frank Derr found the dead body of Joe Hood, a member of the Jerome Miner's union, at the head of Miller Canyon, where it probably had been for about three weeks. But for the fact that the union card was found in one of the pockets of the clothes on the body, identification would have been well nigh impossible. Deceased was 48 years old and a native of Nova Scotia. He had been in poor health for some time. Coroner Talbott and Sheriff Roberts went out yesterday to hold an inquest on the remains. The funeral will take place today from Logan's parlors under the auspices of the Western Federation of Miners. ------------------------------------------ Arizona Daily Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Tuesday, October 27, 1903 The funeral of the late Joe Hood, whose partially decomposed remains were found a short time since a short distance from town, took place this afternoon under the auspices of the Miners' union of which he was a member.
