CASEY, James

Prescott Evening Courier, Prescott, Arizona Monday, August 6, 1923, page 1, column 4 Unknown Miner Is Found Dead James Casey, a former miner, of Ray, was found dead early yesterday afternoon at 200 South McCormick street, where he had been rooming. Justice Ted Ross, acting as coroner, was summoned, and discovered that the man, who was tubercular, had died in a hemorrhage. Litte is known about Casey in this city, as he had come from Ray but a short time ago. Sixteen pennies were found in his pocket, also and Ingersol watch, three razors, a carpenter's rule and a few clothes constituted his belongings. Poll and road tax receipts for 1920, and his registration cards issued during the World war, were found in a wallet. The man apparently was about 50 years old, and a slip of paper indicated that he had formerly worked for the Ray Consolidated. There are no known relatives, but the body was removed to the Ruffner funeral parlors pending further efforts to locate his family. Coroner Ross decided that no inquest was necessary. Transcriber's note: Mr. Casey is buried in an unmarked grave at the Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona.
