Simpson Expires Within a Few Minutes After Alighting From the Train From Phenix This Morning. When the train from Phenix arrived at the depot this morning a man stepped on the depot platform from the train, and immediately sank to his knees in an apparent exhausted condition. Parties there picked him up and carried him into the waiting room of the depot and summoned medical assistance but in less than an hour life had departed his body and he was taken to S. A. Logan's undertaking establishment. Justice Moore summoned a jury this forenoon and an inquest was held on his remains, from which it was discovered that his name was Charles V. Simpson and that his home was at Garfield, Washington. From papers found on him it was ascertained that he was a member in good standing of the Woodmen's lodge at that place and the Prescott Woodmen took charge of the remains and communicated with his lodge and relatives who also reside there, in regard to the disposition of the body. The sum of $12.50 was found on his person which was taken in charge of by Justice Moore. Deceased was about forty-five years old and cause of death was evidently consumption as he was greatly emaciated. He came from Phenix on the night train. Transcriber's note: Mr. Simpson is buried in an unmarked grave at the Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona. |
