LAS VEGAS REVIEW

CLARK COUNTY PIONEER DIES; END SUDDEN

Cornelius N. CROWLEY, aged 57 years, one of the pioneer residents of 
Searchlight, died Tuesday of this week and was buried at Searchlight at 
4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
   Mr. CROWLEY had not been enjoying the best of health for some time 
and sent a man to Las Vegas on Tuesday after Dr. Roy W. MARTIN, who was 
preparing to make the trip by auto to Searchlight when he received a 
wire to the effect that Mr. CROWLEY had passed away.
   The funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon, Judge Wm. E. ORR, 
Dr. R. W. MARTIN, Ed. W. CLARK and James CASHMAN attending from Las 
Vegas.  The funeral service was read by Judge ORR and Richard CABELL, 
for many years a warm personal friend of the deceased, paid a glowing 
tribute to the memory of his departed friend.
   "Con" CROWLEY came to Searchlight in 1906, and was with the camp from 
that time until his death, always pinning his faith to the belief that 
Searchlight would come to the front again and be the mining camp of the 
days agone.  For many years he handled leases in different parts of the 
camp, and for the last few months had been operating the Riverside 
Mining & Milling company, formerly the "Chief of the Hills."
   The deceased leaves only a wife surviving him, and as to his family 
connections prior to coming to Las Vegas little can be learned.
