| Arizona Journal-Miner, Prescott, Arizona Tuesday, March 17, 1918 First Prescottite Dies at Funston - The death of William King from pneumonia occurred at Camp Funston late last week, his remains now being en route to this city for burial. The deceased was a young colored man who volunteered for duty, enlisting in Prescott several months ago. He had previously been in the regular army, receiving his discharge which showed a high endorsement. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas King. reside in this city, and a movement is now on foot to give him an appropriate burial, as he is the first soldier from Prescott to pass away. Note: Thanks go to Terry Stone for the obituary. Mr. King is buried at the Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona. See Also: Arizona Gravestone Photo Project |
Note: These obituaries are transcribed as published and are submitted by volunteers who have no connection to the families. They do not write the obituaries and have no further information other than what is posted within the obituaries. We do not do personal research. For this you would have to find a volunteer who does this or hire a professional researcher.
