HOULIHAN, George

Weekly Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Wednesday, February 12, 1913, page 2, column 6 (From Wednesday's Daily) George Houlihan passed away late Tuesday night at his home in the southern part of the city after a prolonged illness due to general debility. He was well known in this section and bore an exemplary name as a citizen, upright in all dealings and of industrious habits until ill-health seized him a few years ago. He arrived in Prescott in 1893, coming with the building of the S.F. & P. railway, when he filled the position of section foreman in this city. He was a soldier in the Union army during the Civil War, enlisting on April 16, 1861, in Company F, of the 47th Illinois Volunteers and served until October 16, 1864. Army records give him special mention for his bravery in many conflicts, and it is said that he could have remained in the service with a commission if he desired. He was the commander of Barret Post, G.A.R., in this city a short time ago, and was an ardent supporter of any cause that had for its object the recognition of the old soldier. Surviving are his wife and son, to whom the sympathy of all is extended. He was a native of Ireland and aged about 71 years.
