Arizona Republican-June 12, 1909
Andrew Liggett died yesterday morning at half past six at 
his temporary home on North Mill Street. Mr. Liggett has 
been in ill health for several years, coming here a year 
ago last March on that account. He improved for a time but 
several months ago suffered a set back from which he never 
fully recovered.  Though it was realized by his most 
intimate friends that his chances of recovery were poor, 
it was hardly thought he would pass away so sudden and 
unexpected.

Mr. Liggett was a native of Ohio, having at this time relatives 
at that place. He and his family were intimate friends of A.M. 
Harmer in Ohio and Mr. Harmer yesterday wired his sister and 
his home Masonic Lodge relative to the funeral and disposition 
of the body. No reply had been received up to last evening; 
hence the arrangements have not yet been made.

The deceased was a newspaper man by profession, having for a 
number of years published a paper in his hometown. Since being 
in Tempe he has had charge of the Tempe department of the 
Gazette. He was a competent man and made many friends in 
Tempe, all of whom will regret to learn of his untimely end.

Liggett's death
June 22, 1909

Last Friday afternoon, Professor S.F. DeFord of Ottawa, 
received a telegram telling of the death of Andrew F. Liggett 
at Tempe, Az. Mr. Liggett was well known in Putnam County, Ohio, 
being the son of ex-County Commissioner Amos Liggett. Andrew 
was for many years a resident of this county, living near 
Hartsburg.  He attended the Ottawa public schools and was 
within one year of graduating when circumstances obliged 
him to take up other duties. He began learning the printer's 
trade in the office of the Sentinel and steadily worked his 
way up to the editorship.  This position he kept until the 
condition of his health obliged him to seek a change of 
climate.  He made a hard fight to regain his health but 
to no avail.
