| Arizona Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Tuesday, October 16, 1906, page 5, column 2 Find Man In Cabin Near Jerome - Supposed To Have Been Robert Gollander, A Miner Jerome, Ariz., Oct. 14. - The remains of an old man, some 75 or 80 years of age, supposed to have been Robert Gollander, a miner, were found on October 11, in a cabin on the Upper Verde river, fifteen miles from Jerome. The body was badly decomposed and it is thought the old man had been dead some week or ten days when found. In his pockets were found receipts from the Knights of Pythias Lodge, No. 15, of Flagstaff, made out to Robert Gollander, showing dues paid by him to December 1, 1906. Death is thought to be from general debility and old age. An undertaker and Deputy Sheriff Wes Owens went to the river and brought in the remains, which will be buried in the Citizens’ Cemetery, under the direction of W. P. Scott. Even though his name is spelled Gollander in his obituary, from other records I believe his surname to be Gillander or Gillanders. Mr. Gillander is buried in an unknown grave at the Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona. |
