FINCH, George E.

Weekly Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Wednesday, January 29, 1913, page 6, column 6 His Identity Is Established By Effects Man Frozen to Death Is George E. Finch Of Oklahoma (From Saturday's Daily) The identity of the man found in the last throes of death from freezing at the foot of Thumb Bute several days ago, was established yesterday by the securing of his personal effects at a lodging house in this city. The name of Gregg seems to have been assumed after he was placed in the county jail in a demented condition, but letters and other evidence at hand give his true name as George E. Finch. He had a good suit case, and other articles which show that he was apparently well connected. That he was an inventor of several articles was also established, a patent for a specially designed pack saddle being recovered. He was a member at one time of the Masonic order of Cananean Mexico, as well of an Oklahoma lodge of the Odd Fellows. He has relatives residing in St. Louis, and was a native of Iowa. He was aged about 35 years.
