Prescott Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Tuesday Morning, June 11, 1907, page 4, col. 1 ANOTHER PIONEER TAKES THE LONG TRIP Charles H. Keyes Dies From Injuries Received at Phoenix In the death of Charles H. Keyes, which occurred at Mercy hospital Sunday morning, at 5 o'clock, Yavapai county loses one of her old and honored citizens of pioneer days, and the Territory a character known far and wide for his many charitable acts, covering a period of over thirty years' residence. His death was due to internal injuries received in Phoenix almost two months ago, when he was knocked down by a runaway team and picked up unconscious. Being a man of great strength and character and purpose, as well as being blessed with a splendid constitution, he partially recovered from his injuries, but suffered a relapse a few days after getting out of bed, gradually growing worse until the end came. Recognizing that death was near, he came to this city about four weeks ago, to end his days among the people with whom he had lived for over thirty years and in the city which he proudly continued to call home since his first arrival here. In 1877 he engaged in the jewelry business here, He soon recognized the great possibilities of the mining industry of the county and became interested in mining in Groom Creek. He subsequently sold the Chicago group of mines in that district, from the sale of which he acquired a life long competence, and afterwards disposed of his jewelry establishment interests, retiring from active business life. He was aged 80 years and a native Massachusetts. He was a member of no church or secret society. Ex-Delegate to Congress J. F. Wilson will deliver an eulogy at the Ruffner undertaking parlors before the funeral, which will be held at 2 o'clock this afternoon. He will also deliver a short address at the grave in the Citizen's cemetery. Transcriber's note: There is no headstone marking the place of Mr. Keyes burial.
