P. H. SHEEHAN'S DEATH.
 

Following are the particulars regarding the death of P. H. Sheehan, mention of which was made two weeks ago. The clipping is taken from the Prospect, of Prescott, Arizona, dated August 31. "Patrick H. Sheehan, proprietor of the boarding house at McCabe, and a director in the McCabe, and a director in the McCabe Consolidated Copper and Gold mining Company, met with an accident last Sunday, from the effects of which he died Tuesday morning. Mr. Sheehan had been to Huron station on the P. E. railroad, and upon his return when he attempted to alight from his buggy, his foot caught in the brake and he was thrown violently to the ground. The fall caused an injury to his spine and resulted in paralysis.


"Mr. Sheehan was a native of Canada, but went from there to Wisconsin over forty years ago, where he lived until he came to Arizona in 1895. He was hale and hearty at 63 years of age, and his sudden death was a shock to the community in which he lived, where he was well and favorably known. A wife and two daughters survive him. One daughter, Mrs. Riggs, resides at Morenci, and the other Miss Edna Sheehan, at McCabe. The remains were brought to the residence of Mrs. Hill in West Prescott, who was an old friend of the deceased, and the funeral services were conducted by Rev. Father Bennett Wednesday. Mr. Sheehan was an Odd Fellow."
