A Good Man Gone
The friends and acquaintances of P. B. Brannen, post-trader at Whipple,
will be pained to learn of his death which took place at San Diego on
the 13th of this month.
Mr. Brannen was a native of Ottawa, Canada, where his parents now
reside. He came to Arizona several years since, and by close attention
to business he became well-to-do in a worldly way.
Three years since Mr. B. went home on a visit and returned with a wife,
who is now left a widow with a fatherless boy.
All who knew him can only speak of him as an upright, honorable man,
and this whole community, where he was so well-known will mourn his
loss.
His disease was tat of the lungs, for which he tried different
localities and climates but seemingly of no avail as the winged
messenger came and bor him away to the other shore.
Requiescat in pace.
Transcriber's note: Mr. Brannen is buried in an unmarked grave at the
Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona.
