Arizona Republican-February 28, 1901
William Ashurst, father of Henry Ashurst was accidentally 
killed at the Grand Canyon the latter part of January, his 
body being found last Sunday.  From the position of the 
body it seems that in trying to climb up a steep place in 
the canyon he caught a limb to pull himself up by, when 
it gave way, dislodging an immense rock which fell on him 
pinning him to the earth and holding him there until he 
died.  He was alone at the time.  Deceased was sixty years 
old.
