Passing of Manuel M. Monreal
Last Monday about noon Manuel M. Monreal, a highly respected citizen of Nogales, died at his
home on Elm street, where he and his family have resided nearly ten years. Deceased had been
ill more than a year, and three months ago went to Los Angeles, California, in the hope of
obtaining relief from tubercular troubles with which he was affected. Instead of improving
Manuel continued to grow worse; when he realized there was no hope of recovery he decided
to return to his home in Nogales where he could die surrounded by his family - a wife and two
children, a girl of eleven and a boy about eight years of age. Late Sunday night the sick man
arrived in the city being accompanied by his brother-in-law Florencio Perez, of Phoenix, a
deputy sheriff of Maricopa county, who had gone to Tucson to meet, his dying brother-in-law,
who passed away the next day about noon. Deceased was well and favorably known in this city,
where he resided about ten years, coming here from Phoenix, he was a property owner both in
Nogales, Arizona, and in Nogales, Sonora; for a number of years he had been an active lodge
and political worker, being a member of the "Spanish-American Alianza" and of the "Sociedad
Hidalgo". At the time of his death Manuel was treasurer of the Mexican Democratic Club of
Santa Cruz county, a position he filled with honor and ability. Deceased was a kind and loving
husband and father, and a loyal friend. He will be deeply missed and mourned by his family and
friends. He was only thirty-eight years of age at the time of his untimely passing.
The funeral held Tuesday afternoon under the auspices of the two fraternal organizations of
which he was a member, was largely attended by citizens of the Line Cities who visited the
church and cemetery to pay their last respects to one whose untimely passing is regretted.
Interment was in the Nogales, Sonora cemetery.
