Arizona Republican-Dec 20, 1904
Porter Colhouer
December 20, 1904
Arizona Republican Newspaper

The funeral of Porter Colhouer, whose death occurred late 
Saturday evening was held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock 
from the home on Mill Avenue.  The deceased was a member of 
the M.E. Church and the services at the house were conducted 
by the pastor of the church, Rev. J.V. Rollins.  The choir 
of that church sang several hymns.  The funeral was in 
charge of the Masonic Lodge of this place, Mr. Colhouer 
being a member of that order. The pall bearers were: Grant 
Jones, C.A. Stewart, T.J. Parry, Bert Wingar, Al Miller and 
Carl Hayden.

Mr. Colhouer was 35 years of age, a native of Tennessee but 
recently of New York where he made his home for many years.  
At that place he was connected with Collier's Weekly, holding 
a position on the editorial staff for some time.  At the 
time his health gave way he held a high position in the 
business office of the New York World.  For the past six 
years he has been a sufferer of tuberculosis and the greater 
part of that time was spent in traveling at home and abroad 
in search of a climate that would help him.  He came here 
last spring and when hot weather set in went to Colorado 
for the summer, returning here in the early fall.  His 
decline has been constant since that time. He did not 
realize the seriousness of his condition and up to the 
very last was hopeful of his recovery and was making 
plans for the future.

An invalid mother and his two sisters were with him at the 
last and they have the sympathy of the entire community in 
their sad bereavement.
