Francisco Nuanez

Posted 2026-01-15 by Jo Brown
ANOTHER PIONEER GONE
One by one the pioneers of St. Johns are being called home. Last Friday morning Francisco
Nuanez died at his home in this city, at the age of 77 years, after a lingering illness. For the past
27 years he has been crippled up with rheumatism, but during all his suffering from this
dreadful disease he has been cheerful and patient. Mr. Nuanez came to Arizona, or rather, to St.
Johns 46 years ago and settled on his farm east and north of the city, where he managed to
make a living for himself and family until he was stricken with rheumatism. He was well and
favorably known and made friends wherever he went. A few years ago his beloved wife died,
and since that time he has lived with his son Rafael. Saturday, funeral services were held from
the Catholic church, of which he was a member, and the remains interred in the Eastside
cemetery, there to await the resurrection day.
