Joshua Taylor http://www.genrecords.net/emailregistry/vols/00006.html#0001358 July 4, 2005, 9:11 pm Arizona Republican-November 6, 1909 Sam Bone, formerly and for many years a resident of Phoenix died at Superior yesterday morning from typhoid fever, after an illness of two weeks. The news of his death will come as a great shock to his numerous friends in Phoenix and throughout the territory. He probably had more good friends--more loyal friends-more friends who would swear by him, than almost any young man in Arizona. He was honest, straightforward and conscioustious, a man of exemplary habits, considerate of his fellowmen and with never an ill word for anyone. Mr. Bone was a son of Mr. and Mrs. T. Bone of this city and was nearly 25 years old. He was born in Cleburne, Texas but came to Arizona with his parents early in life. He graduated from the Phoenix schools and held a number of positions of trust with mining companies throughout the territory. He was also for nearly two years in the employ of the local railroad companies in the city traffic offices. On February 15, 1909 he was married to Miss Flora J. Lamson, a Phoenix girl and immediately moved to Superior where he entered the employ of the Superior and Arizona Mining Company. Two weeks ago his parents received word that he was ill with typhoid and last Saturday his condition became so serious that his mother and Mrs. Lamson went to him. Since that time his condition grew steadily worse, finally resulting in death. Bone funeral November 7, 1909 Mrs. T. Bone, Mrs. E.M. Lamson and Mrs. Sam Bone arrived here yesterday from Superior escorting the body of Sam Bone who died there Friday morning. The funeral will be held this afternoon in the parlors of Easterling and Whitney at 3 o'clock and will be conducted by Rev. Robt. S. Fisher. Interment will be made in Evergreen Cemetery. ************************************************************** ROBERT BOWEN May 20, 1909 The funeral services over the remains of Robert Bowen will be held at Tempe this morning at 10 o'clock, after which burial will take place in the Mesa Cemetery. Robert Bowen is one of the very best known of the old time residents of this section of the valley. He was recognized as industrious, conscientious and an upright citizen. He was 61 years of age and was a native of England. He came to the United States when 18 and at once drifted westward. He landed in Arizona in 1872 and for the next fifteen years was at Silver King. The mine was then in its best days and Mr. Bowen was superintendent of it for many years. While in that capacity he also engaged in the cattle business and after severing his connection with the Silver King he followed the cattle business exclusively. For nearly thirty years he was a well known cattle man on the south side. He is survived by his wife, two sons and a daughter. The sons are 17 and 19 and the girl, seven years of age. He also has a brother in Globe, a brother and sister in Utah and another sister in California, Mrs. W.T. Brown, formerly of this place. Mr. Bowen's death is the direct result of an injury sustained over two years ago. While engaged in the repair of a barn, he fell quite a distance and received an injury to his neck. He never fully recovered though he was treated by prominent physicians both here and in California. The injury eventually affected his mind and he spent some little time in the insane asylum.
