| DEATH OF MUCH RESPECTED MAN Thomas Still was buried at Williams Monday afternoon, having died at Seligman the day previous, from injuries received in being thrown from a horse at Caufman's ranch, north of that place. "Tom" Still was one of the best known and best respected men in Coconino county, having lived here the better part of the last twenty years, and at different times had charge of the A1 and the L. O. cattle, but for the last two years had been in charge of the C. E. Boyce cattle. Mr. Still was born in Mississippi fifty-one years ago, but when a boy his parents removed to Texas, where he received the training which developed the manly traits of his character for which he was so well loved by all who knew him. Big hearted, generous to a fault, faithful to every trust, honest in all his dealings with friend or foe, "Tom" lived without fear and died without reproach. The manly example of his life might well be an inspiration to his many sorrowing friends, both old and young. His religion was truth, his gospel was humanity's welfare, his political creed was honesty, and his friendship was a jewel prized by all so fortunate as to have a niche in his big, manly, generous heart. Many years will come and go ere his memory will tarnish or fade with the many friends who followed his remains to the grave.. The funeral services were conducted at the grave by the Rev. C P Metcalf, pastor of the M. E. church at Flagstaff, whose oration just fitted the closing of so grand and noble a life as Tom Still had lived. A Friend. The Williams News April 9, 1910 AZ death certificate lists his full name as Thomas H. Still, approximate age 51. |
