LAS VEGAS AGE
10/21/1916

DIED

BREEZE:  In this city, Saturday morning, October 21, 1916, John Milton
BREEZE, aged 67 years.
    The deceased had been in failing health since last July, but had 
only been confined to his bed about a week.  He was brought to the Las 
Vegas Hospital from Pioche by Mr. and Mrs. C. D. BREEZE arriving Friday 
October 13th, and for a few days his condition was encouraging. 
Complications resulting from obscure troubles and a weakened condition 
caused his death.
    Judge BREEZE came to Pioche with his family in 1906 and soon enjoyed 
the friendship and trust of all.  In 1908 he was elected district 
attorney of Lincoln county and served with distinction.  He is a member 
and Past Master of St. John's Lodge No. 18, F & A.M., of the Order of 
the Eastern Star, of the Odd Fellows, Rebekahs and Knights of the 
Maccabees.  He was born in Jefferson county, Illinois, August 5, 1849, 
and leaves surviving him his widow and three sons, C. D. BREEZE of Las 
Vegas and Eugene G. and Lesley B. BREEZE of Grant's Pass, Ore.  The two 
latter have been notified of their father's death and will arrive in 
Vegas Sunday evening, after which plans for the burial will be 
announced.
    We join with hundreds of friends of the family in both Lincoln and 
Clark counties in expressing heartfelt sympathy.  Judge BREEZE was a 
kindly and lovable man, earnest and upright, standing high in the 
confidence of his fellowmen.  His taking is a loss which will not soon 
be forgotten.
