| Prescott Courier, Prescott, Arizona Territory Wednesday, April 11, 1900 Joseph Alyea, aged about 67 years, died very suddenly at the Three-Mile house Monday last. He came in town Sunday and started to walk out to his placer claims on Lynx creek. When he reached the Three-mile house he did not feel well and concluded to spend the night there. He got up in the morning, took a few steps and fell over, dead. He came to this section in 1863 as a member of Captain Hargrave's company of California volunteers. For years he has been involved in placer mining on Lynx creek. He was an industrious man and a good citizen. His body was brought to town yesterday. ------------------------------------ Arizona Weekly Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Wednesday, April 18, 1900, page 3, column 2 Joseph Alyea died very suddenly at the Three-Mile house on Monday.
