WREN, Powhaten Sampson

The Tucson Citizen, Tucson, Arizona July 20, 1917, page 4 Prescott, Ariz., July 20. -- Powhatan S. Wren, a pioneer of Arizona, and until last Monday superintendent of the Arizona Pioneers' Home at Prescott, was found dead in his room at the Pioneers' Home this morning by Superintendent J. F. Mahoney. Judge Wren's death evidently occurred early last night, as an examination of the body revealed the fact that life had been extinct for some hours. The body was clothed in a night-gown and was lying across the bed, as though Judge Wren had made an effort to rise and fallen back. The deceased was about 75 years of age, and had lived in Arizona for 17 years. He was a member of the first Arizona legislature from Yavapai county and had been superintendent of the Pioneers' home for two years. For many years Judge Wren lived at Constellation, Yavapai county, where he engaged in mining, holding the office of justice of the peace in that precinct for a considerable time. He leaves a widow in Texas and a son, who is a major in the United States army. A coroner's inquest was held this afternoon. Prescott friends of Wren are endeavoring to locate his family in Texas.
