Louis Sulton
Arizona Silver Belt
May 6, 1897

The obsequies attending the burial of the late Louis Sultan, 
last Thursday afternoon, were very impressive in keeping with 
the prominence of the deceased and the respect in which he was 
held by the community.  Business was suspended for the afternoon 
and citizens attended the funeral, thronging the residence and 
grounds without.  The casket rested in the west parlor covered 
in floral offerings and the features of the deceased were as 
natural as though he reposed in peaceful slumber.

The services under the auspices of the Rescue Lodge, No. 12 
was conducted by Eugene Middleton, N.H. and Harrison Jewell, 
Chaplain.  The pall bearers were A. Kluney, Lorin Lynch and 
John Crampton, members of the Rescue Lodge and S.A. Parnall, 
James Graham and I.Marks, Citizens.

Mrs. Ernestine Sultan and family and Mr. Hyman Sultan desire 
to express their grateful thanks to their many friends for the 
timely assistance and consolation given them in the hour of 
their great trial and affliction.
