| Weekly Journal-Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Wednesday, March 23, 1910, page 2.4 Death Calls Prominent Resident (From Friday's Daily) William Gammill, one of the best known residents of this city, passed away yesterday morning from the effects of a hemorrhage of the brain. He was seized with this affliction last Friday morning, while going to his place of business, and a short time thereafter lapsed into a state of unconsciousness, from which he never rallied. It will be remembered that Mr. Gammill was the victim of an auto collision with the buggy he was driving, last June, sustaining at that time serious injuries to his body and head, and it is believed that through this accident death is due. He has complained ever since the accident of intense pains, and has constantly been under the care of a physician. Mr. Gammill was a popular man with a large number of people in the city. His generosity was shown in a material manner with many, and his loss will be generally regretted by scores of acquaintances. He arrived in this city with his wife and daughter in 1899, coming from Nebraska, where he followed farming as a vocation. After reaching this city he engaged in business, and up to the time of his death followed his line of pursuit. Besides his wife and daughter, who were with him to the end, he leaves a mother, residing in Oklahoma, two brothers and two sisters in Oklahoma, and other relatives. His brother Andrew, is expected to arrive today, and pending the wish of relatives as to the disposition of his remains, the date of burial will be announced later. It is probable that the body will be taken to Nebraska for interment. The deceased was born in Sullivan, Ill., fifty years ago. Transcriber's note: Mr. Gammill was buried at the Hickman Cemetery in Lancaster County, Nebraska. |
