Arizona Republican-September 21, 1909
Elisha McCloud, living on the old Sebrick place on the school 
section northwest of Mesa, died suddenly Sunday morning as a 
result of heart failure at the age of sixty seven and one half 
years of age.

The deceased was alone at the time of death which made a 
coroner's jury necessary but it required but a short time to 
arrive at a verdict for the effect that death had resulted 
from heart failure. Mrs. McCloud stated to the jurymen that 
her husband had been affected with heart trouble for a number 
of years but had not complained of the ailment for some time.

Justice Irwin summoned the following men who made up the jury 
and passed upon the case: Foreman, Ed Jones, William Passey, 
W. Aird MacDonald, Oris Holdren, D. MacDonald and Ed Bloomer.

According to Mrs. McCloud, her husband arose Sunday morning 
as usual and after milking the cows and doing other chores 
about the ranch he ate a hearty breakfast and appeared to be 
in the best of health. He left the house shortly after 
finishing his meal and was next seen by S.D. Shumway, a 
neighbor attempting to drive a cow back into his pasture 
after the animal had broken out.  The task proved a harder 
one than he had anticipated for he was compelled to run a 
good many steps and after considerable exertion succeeded 
in getting the animal in the lot. It appears that he ent 
next to the toilet where he was found a few minutes later 
by his wife after the death had taken place.  Mrs. McCloud 
after calling her husband several times went to find him 
and at first thought he had fainted. She started to bathe 
his face in cold water and as he did not revive she called 
to the neighbors who soon learned the true condition of the 
man and notified the undertaker and the Justice of the 
Peace Irwin.  The funeral was held yesterday morning at 
ten o'clock and the body was buried in Mesa Cemetery.

Mr. and Mrs. McCloud came here two years ago from Ogden 
Utah.  They located on the school land which has since 
been their home.
