Arizona Republican-May 7, 1901
REV. JOHN CREATH
May 7, 1901

Rev. John Creath died at the home of his son, John 
Creath, yesterday morning at an early hour.  Mr. 
Creath has been feeble for the past two months, but 
three weeks ago he took to his bed with pneumonia 
and although the best of attention was given him, 
he passed away.  Mr. Creath was born in 1838.  
Growing to manhood, he studied for the ministry 
and has had charges for the past twenty five years.  
He came to Phoenix in 1888 and was pastor of the 
Presbyterian church for a year, then  moved to 
Peoria where he continued his ministry.  A few years 
later he settled on the Verde just north of Camp 
Verde, where he lived until coming to Mesa about 
four months ago.  He took a trip east soon after 
and came back sick, from which he never recovered.  
He was a true Christian minister, honored and 
loved by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance.  
His funeral was held at 5 p.m. yesterday from the 
Creath home, east of Mesa.  Rev. Decker conducted 
the services.
