Judge A.H. Hackney
Arizona Silver Belt
December 3, 1899

Judge A.H. Hackney, formerly editor of the Silver Belt, died 
this week at the advanced age of 84 years.  He was born in 
Mercer Co. Pa in 1815.  His first migration was to St. Louis, 
where he resided twenty five years and from there came to New 
Mexico and Arizona in 1857.  Judge Hackney always kept in 
advance of the railroads and was one of those strong and 
vigorous natures found only where nature is and has been the 
teacher.  He was a strong and forcible writer, with clear cut 
convictions and the courage to express them.  Williams News

Judge Hackney, the oldest newspaper man in the southwest has 
gone to his rest "across the long divde."  Many years had he 
wielded a clean quill in New Mexico and Arizona.
