| Arizona Journal-Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Friday, November 22, 1907, page 4, column 3 Found Dead In Bed News reached this city at an early hour, yesterday morning, that Frank R. Raymond had been found dead in bed at the Catoctin mining camp, about 14 miles south of this city. Undertaker Paulson of the Ruffner undertaking parlors at once left for the place and took charge of the remains, returning here with the body at a late hour last evening. Deceased had been ill for some time, but his indisposition was not considered to be of a serious nature. The body was discovered by Ed. Parsons, a neighbor, who was making his usual morning call to deceased as he was passing on his way to work. Raymond was aged about 85 years, and a native of New York. He was a pioneer of California and Nevada, and had been a resident of this county and Territory for the past quarter of a century. He was a man endowed with all the manly and noble qualities of the pioneers, and was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. He was a member of the Masonic order but the location of the lodge wherein he held membership could not be learned, as none of his papers were brought here with the remains. His personal effects will be brought to the city today. Funeral arrangements will be announced later. Deceased leaves no known relatives in this section. He was possessed of considerable mining property, none developed beyond the prospect stage. Previous to his death he had been employed for some time as watchman at the Catoctin mill. Transcriber's note: Mr. Raymond is buried in an unmarked grave at the Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona. |
