Back, who died in Prescott, July 13, 1907. None of the papers got her proper name and will say her name was Jennie Lee Back, born April 29, 1889, on Beaver Creek, where she was raised to womanhood. She was brought to Prescott for medical treatment about a month before her death and expired July 13, 1907, aged 18 years, 2 months and 13 days. Her remains were interred in the Clear Creek cemetery, July 15, 1907 before one of the largest funeral assemblages seen in Verde Valley in many years. The funeral was under the direction of the G. C. Ruffner undertaking establishment which prepared her remains for burial and which looked almost as natural as life when exposed to view a short time before interment. Thanks are extended to the ladies and friends of the family in Prescott for the many floral offerings as well as to the citizens of the Verde Valley for their many acts of kindness during the last sickness of the deceased.
