RICHARD HAM
Arizona Republican Newspaper
July 16, 1901

The death of Richard Ham, which occurred in Bisbee on 
the 11th while not entirely unexpected in view of his 
condition for a few days previous yet caused quite a 
shock to his many friends and associates who had known 
him here and in Tombstone for many years and as he was 
not far advanced in years and ordinarily in good helath 
they had confidently clung to the hope  of a favorable 
turn in his illness, which had lasted two weeks.

At the time of his death he was in his fifty third year.  
He leaves a widow here and a daughter who is married and 
residing in New York.

Mr. Ham had been a trusted and respected employee of the 
Copper Queen Company here since 1885, coming here from 
Tombstone, where he had been a resident for some years.  
He was a member of the Masonic order and his funeral was 
in charge of that order.
