NUANEZ, Francisco

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.
