HOLBROOK, Frances

Prescott Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Sunday, June 24, 1906, page 4, column 3 Sudden Death Of Mrs. Holbrook Supposed She Was Well And Discharged Her Nurse Typhoid Fever and Erysipelas Cause Her Demise Mrs. Frances Holbrook, died last evening about 11 o'clock at her home on South Cortez street, in this city after a brief illness. The deceased was aged about 30 years, and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thorbeck of Jerome. Besides her parents, who are old-time residents of this city, she leaves surviving her a daughter aged about 10 years, two brothers who are residents of Jerome, and one sister now residing in California. Her death was entirely unexpected, as she was thought to have fully recovered several days ago from an attack of typhoid fever, which was attended by complication of erysipelas, when she discharged her nurse, believing that she was entirely well. Yesterday afternoon she was attacked by heart trouble, and a consolation of physicians was called. Her case was diagnosed as inflammation of the heart, due to erysipelas pronounced to be serious. Every effort was made on the part of avail, her death occurring at the hour stated. She was a member of Fraternal Brotherhood lodge No. 258 of this city, to the upbuilding of which she devoted much time, and to the principles of which she was much attached. Charitable almost to a fault, and ever ready to assist the needy and distressed, the community loses in her death a noble and industrious woman, who by her own efforts and labors, enabled, built a house for herself and little one, who has the sincere of the community at the untimely end of a found and indulgent mother. The remains were taken in charge by the undertaking parlors of F. F. Nevin on Cortez street. Funeral arrangements will be announced later. Transcriber's note: Mrs. Holbrook is buried at the Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona.
