Arizona Republican-April 15, 1902
William Corlett
April 15, 1902
Arizona Republican Newspaper

William Corlett died early yesterday morning of 
pneumonia at his residence No. 424 West Jefferson 
Street after a short illness.  He leaves a wife and 
five children to mourn his death.  The funeral 
service will be held at the residence at 4 o'clock 
this afternoon, Rev. C.V. Cowan officiating.

Mr. Corlett was one of the best known carpenters 
and contractors in the city having followed that 
business here for a great many years.  He was 57 
years old and a native of the Isle of Man.  He came 
to Phoenix when the future capital city had barely 
begun to grow and probably few, if any, of the 
resident carpenteres have helped in the construction 
of more buildings in this city than has Mr. Corlett.

In the earlier days he was well known as an active 
member of various societies and was quite prominent 
among all social and church functions. He married 
Miss Ada Wharton, who has a large number of family 
connections in the valley and who in her bereavement 
will receive the sympathy of all.  Some time ago Mr. 
Corlett went to La Cananea where he was engaged in 
the line of his business, returning home quite ill 
last Saturday morning.  He was given the best of 
attention but was not a strong man physically and 
was unable to withstand the encroachments of that 
terrible disease.  He was a good citizen and 
indulgent husband and father and a reliable and 
trustworthy business man.
