HEMPSEY,

Hugh Hempsey Dead
Hugh Hempsey died suddenly Sunday morning at about two o'clock of heart failure. He had
complained for a day or two previous of pains in the region of his heart.
"Kiddo" as he was commonly known, was a native of Pennsylvania and about 40 years of age at
the time of his death. Even though crippled in his knee, was a sturdy lumberjack and a big
hearted fellow whose faults re-dounded mainly upon his own head.
He leaves two sisters in the east and one brother, Arthur Hempsey, who is a resident of
Flagstaff.
The funeral services were held Monday afternoon and was attended by a goodly number of
friends who sincerely mourned his sudden passing to that land beyond the river where
temptations come no more.
