WILLIAM HOLBERT
December 28, 1897

William Holbert, one of the original locators of the La Fortuna 
Mine in this county, died very suddenly on Saturday.  Mr. Holbert 
has been in poor health for some time but his friends did not 
have the faintest idea that he was so near death's door.  
Deceased has been suffering with consumption and on the morning 
of his death he experienced a severe hemorrhage resulting in 
final dissolution.  Mr. Holbert has operated in California and 
Arizona and had invested considerable sums in this territory 
particularly in Yuma County. He was the owner of the local ice 
plant and has disbursed a goodly sum in the improvement of a 
ranch near this city. Mr. Holbert was highly esteemed in this 
community, being of a generaous, whole souled disposition.  
The remains were forwarded to Michigan, the former home of 
the deceased.
