| Weekly Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Wednesday, June 14, 1916, page 3, column 5 Summons Comes To Popular Arizonan E. E. Kirkland, Who For Many Years Was Resident Of This County Passes Away (From Thursday's Daily) Private telegrams from St. Louis announced the death of E. E. Kirkland as having occurred Monday night at the home of his sister. The news will cause regret throughout the State, and particularly in this county, where the deceased resided for many years in Kirkland valley. The fatal affliction was due to complications arising after Kirkland was operated upon for appendicitis about two years ago, when his health began to fail. He was nearly twelve years territorial treasurer of Arizona under the administrations of Governor Brodie, Governor Kibbey and Governor Sloan, relinquishing the office on admission to statehood. Kirkland came to Arizona over 40 years ago, locating at the old Vulture mine, where he engaged in the general mechanizing business. Later he located in Kirkland valley, following cattle raising and farming. He was an excellent citizen and upright in all dealings. His carful business training and his honorable life led to his being appointed to the above responsible office. He was buried yesterday at St. Louis. Mr. Kirkland married in this county, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, deceased. Transcriber's note: Mr. Kirkland is buried at the Greenwood Memory Lawn Cemetery in Phoenix, Arizona. |
