Arizona Republican-December 26, 1902
J.W. BOLTON
December 26, 1902

John W. Bolton died yesterday morning at 3 o'clock at his 
home on North Second Street of a hemmorrhage of the lungs 
of which he had been a sufferer for a long time.  He was 
about 36 years old and well known in the community having 
lived here about eleven years.

Mr. Bolton was a barber by trade and going from Kansas to 
California he lived a couple of years in San Diego before 
coming here.  He entered the employ of Frank Shirley 
shortly after coming here and remained with him till 
three or four years ago when he passed a civil service 
exam and secured a position as letter carrier in the 
Phoenix post office.

Though his health had not been good for a long time it 
was only last summer he became so ill as to necessitate 
giving up his position in the post office.  He went to 
Tucson a couple of months ago thinking he would get 
better but instead of improving he grew worse till it 
was deemed best to send for his wife.  They returned 
home Wednesday morning but the sick man was beyond the 
possiblity of recovery and was unconscoius most of the 
time until his death.

He leaves a wife and little son, Chauneey, both well 
known in the community.  The funeral will be held at 
2 o'clock Sunday afternoon at the A.M.E. church.
