COLONEL HOLDEN
January 23, 1897

Colonel Holden died at St. Joseph's Hospital in Tucson Tuesday 
of pneumonia.  The deceased as an old Arizonian and had been 
for many years mining in the Oro Blanco district where he had 
some good properties. Hard drinking, however, got the best of 
Col. Holden and this, with a severe attack of pneumonia, was 
more than his worn out body could stand.

The deceased was a native of New York and was well connected. 
He came to the Pacific coast after the war where he had for 
some time been in the practice of law.  He was 64 years of age 
and came to Arizona more than twenty years ago and was a 
generous, whole-souled man, with some peculiarities, but a 
good man and was his own worst enemy.  His remains were 
interred Wednesday.
