The funeral of the late Geo White, the unfortunate colored man who was
murdered recently in this city, occurred Saturday, Rev. Lewis
officiating at the services.

A trio of his male friends discoursed music at the grave, and a large
number of people followed the remains to their last home.

The deceased bore an excellent name among all, and his tragic death is
very much deplored.


Transcriber's note: Mr. White is buried at the Citizens Cemetery in
Prescott, Arizona.
