| Arizona Weekly Courier, Prescott, Arizona Territory Wednesday, December 16, 1891, page 3, column 4 Died - West - In Prescott, December 13, 1891, H. H. West, a native of England, aged 47 years. ------------------------------------ Prescott Morning Courier, Prescott, Arizona Territory Monday, December 21, 1891, page 4, column 2 J. A. West, brother of the late H. H. West, arrived on Saturday's train from Morrison, Illinois, had his brother's body exhumed on Saturday night and returns with it this morning to the family home at Morrison, where the remains will be reinterred. Mr. West called on the Courier, and the Courier will say that he is a very pleasant and intelligent gentleman. He states that his parents are living, and that the death of his brother is the first death in a family of eight children; that he saw his late brother six years ago, and had not seen him for 13 years previous to that time. He expressed himself agreeably surprised by the law and order appearance of our section, his is regarded in his part of the country as a rough country ruined by rough people. While waiting at Prescott Junction, he thought, as Prescott was off the main line, that he would not get as good accommodations here as he did at that point, and when he saw our fine town, splendid public buildings and magnificent hotels, he could hardly believe his eyes. The late H. H. West had a host of friends here and they made his brother a welcome visitor. Mr. West hopes to visit Prescott again in the near future on a mission devoid of sad features of his present visit, when he will be in a more congenial frame of mind to meet his friends and look at the country. -------------------------------------- Arizona Weekly Courier, Prescott, Arizona Territory Wednesday, December 23, 1891, page 3, column 2 Barney Smith, an intimate friend of H. H. West, who died a few days ago in this city received a delayed telegram this morning from Miss Jennie A. West, as sister of the deceased, at Morrison, Illinois, stating that she was enroute to Prescott and to have her brother's remains embalmed for shipment east. Owing to the recent strike, no information could reach Prescott of the disposition wished of the remains and he was accordingly given the customary burial. The lady will arrive to-morrow, when the remains will probably be disinterred. |
