Arizona Republican-Feb. 10, 1901

THADDEUS EMPEY
February 10, 1901
Arizona Republican Newspaper

Thaddeus Empey died yestrday morning at the hopsital at 
the advanced age of 71.  He had been in Arizona for the 
last twenty five years and is an old timer on the coast, 
having lived in California and Nevada in the days of the 
gold excitement.  He was a resident of Tombstone in its 
lively early history and has a large acquaintance all 
over the territory.  His most highly prized keepsake 
was a letter he received once from Queen Victoria in 
answer to a letter he wrote to her bearing the 
information that he enjoyed the honor of having been 
born the same day she was.  

It was not supposed that Mr. Empey had living relatives, 
though it was known that he was one of a family of eleven 
children and that he was born in Canada.  Since his death 
a letter was found among his effects bearing date less 
than a month ago and written from Montreal by an older 
brother.  The writer states that he is well to do and 
extends an invitation to Mr. Empey to come to Montreal 
and make his home with him.  But as is so frequently the 
case, the letter came too late.
