STILL,
Thomas
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.
