CROSSMAN, James

Weekly Arizona Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Thursday, July 28, 1904, page 5, col. 5 Local News Briefs - Monday morning about five o'clock, while delivering his papers, Tommy Robinson found the body of a man lying on the ground near the blacksmith shop of F. C. Brecht, and reported the find to the officers, Justice of the Peace. Talbot was notified and called a coroner's jury together and examined the remains when they were removed to Logan's undertaking parlors. The man proved to be James Crossman, a timberman and pumpman who had arrived here some five weeks ago from New Mexico. Since coming here he had been drinking heavily and was also afflicted with lung trouble. His drinking and dissipation brought on hemorrhage of the lungs and in one of these spells he passed away sometime during the early hours of Monday morning. Nothing was known of his relatives and he was buried by the county. He appeared to be about 55 years of age.
