Arizona Chinaman Buried at Prescott

Last Sunday afternoon the remains of Gee Fong (familiarly known as 
Murphy) were conveyed to their last resting place, the Chinese Masons 
of Prescott participating in the burial ceremonies.

'Murphy' was perhaps the best known Chinese in northern Arizona, having 
been engaged in the restaurant business in Prescott for a quarter of a 
century.

The Courier says: He was a good citizen - public spirited, industrious, 
shrewd in business and at the same time, strictly honest.


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