H. La Berteu, a pioneer printer of Prescott, passed quietly away last night at 12 o'clock from an affliction that may be termed general debility from old age. He arrived in Prescott in 1874, and was an employe of the Miner for many years and other papers of this city, his last service being on the Journal-Miner about six years ago. While never strong and vigorous physically, his wonderful will power carried him through many serious afflictions in later years, and his rallying powers excited the admiration of all. 'Bert,' as he was favorably called, was a good man, and many kind acts to the poor and needy, his modest and unconcerned manner in generous consideration were indeed commendable. He was a native of Bloomington, Indiana, and was in the neighborhood of 75 years of age, being an associate when a boy of the late T. J. Butler. A peculiar feature of these two Indiana was that in crossing the plains over forty years ago, and in all their ramblings along the Pacific coast, while not always together, they both however kept in close hailing distance, and when Mr. Butler came to Prescott in 1874, Mr. La Berteu took his trail and came also. He leaves no known relatives except a wife, who arrived today from Phenix. Arrangements are being made today for his final interment, which will be announced later, and it is hoped there will be a general attendance of his many former friends. May he find in the veiled hereafter all the beauties and charms he so firmly believed in, and be relieved of all the cares and burdens he so nobly endured in later years of his life.
