Arizona Republican-Dec. 25, 1901
CHARLES CORDELL
December 25, 1901

Charles Cordell, who lived in this city for several years, 
passed suddenly from life to death on Monday afternoon.  At 
noon he was on the street but he looked like a very sick man.  
He was destitute and made application for admission to the 
county poor farm where he had been once before.  Shortly 
after noon he was sent out to the farm and after shaking 
hands with some of his acquaintances, he complained of 
extreme weakness and begged to lie down. Within a few 
minutes he was dead.  Cordell was quite a familiar figure 
on the street and has been much about town lately.  A week 
ago he was a clerk at the charter election in the Fourth 
Ward. He came to town as a gambler in a small way and for 
some time was connected with a policy game.  He had for 
several years been addicted to the use of drugs and was 
once sent to the asylum. He was discharged as cured but 
as in all these cases, the cure was not permanent.  
Though his condition was of poverty and disease, he was 
always cheerful.
