November 1903

Sylvester McClintock, aged 82 years is dead.  Mr. McClintock 
was the father of  Frank McClintock of this city and was 
committed to the asylum a short time ago.  He formerly lived 
in the mountains on Pinto Creek in Gila County and was 
engaged in raising horses.  He had been rather peculiar for 
a long time and insisted on living alone at his camp, where 
he had few conveniences and little protection from the 
weather.  He was stricken with paralysis last spring and 
in April was brought to Phoenix where he lived with his 
son till he became a menace to the safety of himself and 
others and it became necessary to place him in the asylum.  
The funeral was held yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock and 
interment was at the Crosscut cemetery.
