Sam Finley
Arizona Republican Newspaper
September 7, 1895

Mrs. Sam Finley of Nogales, left that place, by stage yesterday 
morning for this city to visit friends and relatives. Her baby 
boy Sam was with her, and was at the time of starting in the 
best of health. On the way, however, the little fellow sickened 
of what appeared to be a fever and died in her arms.  The 
frantic and distressed mother was helpless and could do 
nothing to help her suffering baby and when its little life 
went out she still nursed its inanimate clay.  Efforts were 
at once made to reach the father, but he had gone on business 
to Oro Blanco and could with difficulty be communicated.  He 
is however expected tonight. The funeral will take place 
tomorrow.  Sympathy is everywhere expressed for the 
distressed mother who is prostrated with grief.  Tucson Citizen
