Van Voorhies Rites Set Here Today

Graveside services for Albert H. Van Voorhies, aged 86 years, who
died yesterday in a Phoenix hospital, will be held in the Odd
Fellows cemetery tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock.

Mr. Van Van Voorhies was born January 17, 1856, at Ann Arbor, Mich.
His parents were pioneer Dutch settlers of Ypslianti and Ann Arbor.
He came to Arizona 20 years ago from Citronelle, Alabama. Before
moving to Prescott, he operated a coffee store in connection with
Weinick's Market in Phoenix.

He was a farmer by occupation and took great pleasure in trying new
varieties of plants at his home and at the Whipple Facility, where
he had charge of the garden for some time.

Mr. Van Voorhies was a life member of the local Loyal Order of the
Moose and actively promoted its membership and activities.

He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Van Voorhies, who resides
at 522 East Sheldon street.
