LYDEN, May

Prescott Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Thursday, February 26, 1914, page 4, column 4 Popular Girl Passes Away May Lyden Falls Victim To Dreaded Disease; Dies After A Heroic Struggle Regret was general yesterday afternoon when the death of May Lyden, twenty-four years old, at the Mercy hospital, was learned. The grim, courageous battle fought by the girl against the overwhelming knowledge that she must finally succumb to the dread disease she had fallen a victim to, drew to her side a host of friends, who during the last few months of her struggle were constantly at her bedside cheering her and offering what comfort they could. The girl resided here until about two and a half years ago, returning to Youngstown, Ohio, where she joined a brother and sister, the sole survivors of the family. While in the east she contracted tuberculosis, and came here last September in the last stages of the disease. Her previous popularity drew to her side her old host of friends, who not only furnished the means for her care in the hospital where the best treatment and attention was available, but did all they could to comfort her. The arrangements for the funeral are now being made by a joint committee from the Sacred Heart church and Society. The services will be conducted Saturday morning in the Catholic church and the remains will be interred in the Citizens' cemetery. -------------------------------------- Prescott Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Thursday, February 26, 1914, page 2, column 4 Funeral Notice - The funeral services for Miss May Lyden will be held at the Church of the Sacred Heart Saturday morning at 9 o'clock.
