Local Intelligence -

The Mohave county Miner has the following about Charles G. Smith, who
died suddenly in Prescott a few days ago. 'He had been somewhat
despondent of late and seemed to think that death in some form was
near. Mr. Smith served in the United States Navy during the rebellion
and was in many of the important naval engagements. He was highly
connected and has wealthy relatives in Boston and other eastern
cities. In Mohave county deep regret is expressed for the untimely
death of a warm-hearted man.'

(From Thursday's Daily)

Charles G. Smith, a gambler employed at the Palace saloon, died in his
chair while dealing a game on Wednesday.

He was apparently in good health, when all of a sudden his head fell
back and he gave one or two gasps and was dead. Deceased was about 58
years old and about two months ago came here from Kingman, where he
was formerly engaged in business and where he had resided for about
eight years. He is said to have been a native of Boston, where he has
relatives that are prominent and wealthy residents of that city.

His brother in Boston, was notified of his death and the latter
telegraphed to give him decent burial here. The funeral will take
place tomorrow, Friday afternoon, from Logan's undertaking parlors.


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