Arizona Republican-March 4, 1909
Captain E. Legro, aged 86 years, died on Saturday afternoon at 
4:30 at the residence of his son, James Legro, at Thirteenth 
Avenue and Gilbert Street. Mr. Legro has been very sick for the 
past five weeks.  Shortly after his return from Dakota in October 
he was trimming a palm tree and in some way stuck a thorn in his 
right eye, causing him to lose the sight of that eye.  Mr. Legro 
was a Republican and a good citizen. He was an old soldier, 
having served in the Civil War, the Florida and the Mexican Wars. 
He leaves a widow and four children to mourn his death.  The 
children are James Legro of Phoenix, Mrs. Charles Haxby and Mrs. 
Will Leedy of South Dakota and Mrs. George Hoke of Melrose, 
Idaho. 

Mr. Legro was the father of nine children. He has eighteen 
grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. Interment was 
made in Greenwood Cemetery Sunday afternoon at 2:30.  He had 
many friends who will regret to learn of his death. His wife, 
aged 83 years will remain in Phoenix  until warm weather when 
she will return to her former home in Dakota and to her 
daughters. She will make her home with Mrs. Sim Davis until 
that time.
