Johnny Culver Succumbs to His Injuries On Saturday
P. G.. Augustine of the Agua Fria, arrived in town Saturday evening
bringing the sad news that Johnny Culver, the young man who some
days before had been thrown under the horse which he was riding, had
died without regaining consciousness. Mr. Augustine returned with a
coffin that night and stated the boy would be buried on Sunday at
Chaparral, where his mother and several sisters reside.
A strange coincidence is noticeable in the death of this young man,
in this. His brother-in-law, the late Johnny Stillwell, met death
in an almost identical way a few months ago and with a distance of
ten miles of each place of occupancies. Both Stillwell and Culver
were excellent horsemen, and in both fatalities, each rode their
animals at high speed.
The Agua Fria section is pitted with gopher and prairie dog holes,
and outside of a (can't read) very dangerous for horses to ride.
Both of the above individuals knew this, and it is to be deeply
regretted that they did not (can't read) what was sooner or later to
eventually happen.
Transcriver's note: No place of burial has been found for Johnny.
