(From Monday's Daily)

Julius Sanders, the oldest man probably in Arizona, died last Saturday
and was buried yesterday afternoon in Simmons' graveyard west of town.

Deceased is a native of Kentucky, where he was born in 1898, being 94
years old at the time of his death.

He leaves a wife and daughter, Mrs. S. C. Miller, and two sons, T. D.
and Irvin Sanders.

He has resided on the frontier all of his life, coming to Arizona in
the early days. He kept so far in advance of civilization that it was
not until five years ago when he was 89 years of age that he first saw
a railroad or railroad train.

Transcriber's note: Mr. Sanders is buried in an unmarked grave at the
Simmons Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona.
