LAS VEGAS AGE
6/24/1911

COL. FIFE PASSES AWAY

FORMER RESIDENT OF VEGAS DIES SUDDENLY AT HIS HOLLYWOOD HOME

    Colonel W. J. FIFE died at his home in Hollywood last Sunday after 
an illness of less than 24 hours.  Apparently in the best of health, he 
was stricken with apoplexy Saturday afternoon at two o'clock and slowly 
sank to the end.
    Colonel FIFE was a resident of Vegas for a time immediately 
following its opening in 1905, and built the FIFE building on the corner 
of First and Carson streets.  While here, Col. and Mrs. FIFE made many 
friends who sincerely regret the sad end.
    During the Spanish war Colonel FIFE saw service in the Phillipine 
Islands, as Lieutenant-colonel of the first Washington Volunteers.  On 
the journey to the Islands he was in command of the transports Valencia 
and Senator.
    Besides the widow, he is survived by his mother, a daughter, two 
sons and a brother.
