| Prescott Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Wednesday, July 5, 1916, page 1, column 6 Voge's Injuries Have Fatal Ending Unexpected developments arriving yesterday afternoon in the condition of Gus Voge, occasioned his death at 3:15 o'clock at Jerome, where he was burned in an electrical explosion late last week, while adjusting a telephone wire, which came in contact with the high tension current of the Arizona Power Co. line. News of the fatal termination of this accident was received with expressions of the deepest sorrow in this city, where the deceased was so well known and universally liked. During the forenoon yesterday word from Jerome continued reassuring for his recovery and it was believed the crisis had passed. This young man enjoyed a splendid name in this community where he had been reared from boyhood, winning through his industry and capability the mark of appreciation from his employers and he was promoted to a higher position only a short time before he was stricken down. He was nearing his 30th year and surviving is his widow and his mother. The remains will be brought from Jerome and burial will be given in this city. ----------------------------------------- Prescott Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Thursday, July 6, 1916, page 8, column 3 City News In Brief - Funeral Notice The funeral services for Gus Voge will be held at Lester Ruffner's mortuary chapel this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock.
