Two Old Residents of Yavapai Dead - James Sullivan And G. W. Dakan
Succumb To Disease

In the county hospital, yesterday two deaths occurred of residents of
the county of many years; standing.

About 2 o’clock in the afternoon, G. W. Dakan, who was admitted to the
hospital, Saturday last, expired from a complication of disease, in
which rheumatism appeared to be the most distressing. He was aged about
44 years and a native of Oregon. He was engaged in placer mining for a
number of years, a few miles east of the city. He leaves no relatives
in this section, and little is known of his history before coming here.

The remains of both were taken in charge by the Maus & Shannon
undertaking establishment to be prepared for burial.

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