PEMBERTON, Martha

Weekly Arizona Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Friday, May 14, 1880, page 3, column 2 Sudden Death - Mrs. Pemberton, a very estimable lady who resided about two miles west of Prescott, died very suddenly yesterday. She was enjoying her usual good health apparently and prepared dinner for her husvand and others, as ordinarily was her rule, and a few moments before 12 o'clock summoned them to the meal. She took a bucket and repaired to the branch a few yards distant for water but did not return. The men folks, after waiting a few minutes suspected something was wrong, whey they went out and discovered her in a semi-unconsious state, laying upon the ground. They conveyed her to the house, but she gradually grew worse, and in two hours was a corpse. Her ailment was congestion of the brain. She was said to be an industrious and excellent woman. -------------------------------------- Weekly Arizona Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Friday, May 14, 1880, page 3, column 2 Two funerals in Prescott in one day is a thing uncommon since the subjugcation of the Indians, however, such was the case today. Mrs. Pemberton and the little child of Mr. Guild were laid away in their earthly beds this p.m. Transcriver's note: Mrs. Pemberton's place of burial is not known.
