| Arizona Weekly Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Wednesday, April 11, 1900, page 1, column 5 Joseph Fishburn Dead. He Expires Very Suddenly Near His Home at Walnut Grove Yesterday. The dead body of Joseph Fishburn, a well known resident of Walnut Grove was brought to Prescott on this afternoon's freight train from the south. It was met at the depot by representatives from the Masonic lodge, of Prescott, of which order the deceased was a member. It was taken to S. A. Logan's undertaking parlors, from which the funeral will take place tomorrow. The announcement of his death will be received with surprise by his friends in Prescott, as it was only two or three days ago that he was here on a business trip with his wife when he was apparently in robust health. He was engaged at work yesterday with another man and about 3 o'clock went to his companion and remarked: 'I guess it is about time for us to go home. I have not been feeling well for the past three hours. I have had a terrible pain here,' pointing to the region of his stomach. He started to go to his house and when near it he was seen to suddenly fall to the ground and expire instantly. Heart disease is supposed to have been the cause of death. Mrs. Fishburn and several citizens of Walnut Grove came up with the remains. Transcriber's note: Mr. Fishburn is buried at the Masonic Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona.
