McCAIL, W. G. Miner Meets Death in W. & A. Carelessly Stepped From Top Of Bucket And Fell Eighty Feet. Victim Was W. G. McCail and Has Been Employed at Wolverine and Arizona Mine Since January 26. Comrades of Deceased Can Not Understand Why He Got Off on Wrong Side at the Landing. It would seem that there is to be no cessation in the long trend of mine fatalities occurring at the various properties in the immediate vicinity of Bisbee, and on account of the sad and horrible accidents which have been occurring, one close on the heels of the other, one becomes to dread what the coming day will bring forth. Barely are the printed sheets giving particulars of a mine horror dry, than the cold types are again being hastily gathered for the purpose of printing the details of another fatality. People here have not had sufficient time to recover from the awful shock produced by the Pittsburg & Duluth mine horror, in which two miners met death and another will be scarred and maimed for life as a result, when now they are again called upon to withstand the news of still another occurrence which has been destructive of life. In this instance the Wolverine & Arizona mine was the scene of the unfortunate accident whereby W. G. McCall, a miner who has been employed by the company since January 26, last, met an untimely death.

The accident occurred shortly before 7 o’clock last evening, while McCall, in company with three other workmen at the mine were descending the main shaft. All four men were riding on the bucket, as is the manner employed in ascending as well as descending the mine, and just as the landing was made at the 500-foot level, McCall carelessly stepped off the bucket on the wrong side and fell through a trap door to the bottom of the shaft and to his death. McCall fell a distance of eighty feet and was killed instantly, as was evidenced by the awful injuries he sustained, and which were apparent by only a casual glance. His head was badly cut and bruised, apparently from striking against the sides of the shaft while his body mad the awful descent. At the bottom of the shaft was several feet of water, and even had the unfortunate man reached the bottom without fatal injuries it is not likely that he could have saved himself from drowning. Immediately after the accident the men in the mines hastened to recover McCall’s body or to ascertain whether or not he had met death. It required only a short time to locate the mangled form and bring it to the surface. The remains were taken charge of by Undertaker Walter Hubbard, and were removed to the Palace Undertaking parlors, arriving there about 10 o’clock. The tree men who were riding down the shaft in company with McCall were Ed Botsford, Arthur T. Bennetts and Richard Nesbitt. It was utterly to their surprise, as well as horror, to witness the unfortunate man step into the open trap, and the writer, who was in the mine only a few days ago, fails to understand why one accustomed to moving about in the shaft would have turned toward the trap doors, as the landing at the 500-foot level, where the men intended to alight, was the opposite direction. The deceased was about 28 years of age, and single. He was a member of Rathbone lodge, Knights of Pythis of Bisbee. So far is locally known he leaves no relatives in Arizona to mourn his loss. It was learned, however, that two of his sisters reside in California. The funeral will be held under the auspices of the local K. of P. order, and the arrangements for the burial will be completed tomorrow. An inquest over the remains of the deceased will be held this morning at 9 o’clock at Coroner Brown’s office. Bisbee Daily Review, Bisbee, AZ. Thursday, February 18, 1904.

MEYER, J. Sudden Death. Frightened Team Dash Down a Mountain. Laborer Meyer Hurled to His Death and Another Man Seriously Injured. A fatal accident occurred Tuesday in which J. Meyer was killed about thirty miles east of Douglas beyond Silver Creek, Meyer was employed by Contractor Robinson, but had already quit work and had received his check and was leaving. One of the hands started to move a pile driver to another bridge not far distant when Meyer got on to ride. After they had gone some distance they came to a steep hill and as they started down the steep incline the brake to the wagon gave way and the wagon ran upon the horses. They became frightened and started upon a run and at once became uncontrollable. Seeing the danger the man jumped. Meyer did not clear himself of the danger but was struck by an iron bar that reached out over the wagon and was instantly killed. The driver, who also jumped at the same time, cleared the irons extending from the wagon but so fell upon the ground that he broke two ribs with some other injuries that were not serious. The inquest will be held today at Douglas. There is nothing known of Mr. Meyer thus far – no one is able to find his relatives or close friends. They may be found later on as there has been no opportunity for anyone to look into the matter since he was killed. Bisbee Daily Review, Bisbee, AZ. Friday, January 31, 1902.

MILLER:

MILLER, Bruce. June 10, 1932. St. David Boy Met Tragic Death Sunday. The whole community was deeply shocked when it learned that Bruce Miller, eight year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Mac Miller of Saint David had died Sunday afternoon from burns he had received that day. It seems that the boy had locked himself in an outside toilet and had in some manner set papers and the inside woodwork afire and was then unable to get out. He was badly burned before members of the family heard his screams and saw the smoke. It was then necessary to pry off a sheet of the outside metal covering before he could be released. An elder brother, Willard, was painfully burned in an effort to free Bruce from the burning shack. Mr. Oldfather and others administered first aid, and Dr. Yellott and Dr. Morrison were called and did everything possible but the burns were too severe to permit the saving of his life and Bruce passed away about four hours after the accident occurred. Funeral services were held at the St. David cemetery under the direction of Bishop Lloyd Miller. The choir sang "I Need Thee Every Hour". Prayer was offered by John K. McRae. George Boyd and Ed T. Lofgreen gave very touching talks, after which the choir sang "Some time We'll Understand". The grave was dedicated by Elder Glenn Goodman. Edwin Goodman went to Tucson after the coffin, making the trip in three hours. San Pedro Valley News-Sun.

MOBLEY, Cora Agnes. February 11, 1889 - December 29, 1945 Dec 30, 1945. Two Are Killed Here In Train- Auto Crash. Two persons were killed instantly Saturday afternoon as the car in which they were riding was hurled 100 feet when struck by a Southern Pacific troop train eight miles east of Douglas. The dead: Mrs. L.A. Mobley, about 55, wife of the owner of Mobley's ranch, and a long-time resident here; Robert E. Hubbard, about 66, 451 Ninth Street, a worker at the ranch. The accident occurred at 12:50 p.m. at the crossing on Booster Station road, near highway 80. The car, struck squarely in the side, was thrown through a cattle guard and sent somersaulting into a ditch, witnesses said. Mrs. Mobley's body was found near the track 80 feet from the scene of the crash. Hubbard's body was entangled in the wreckage of the car. The automobile, a 1940 model Chevrolet club coupe, was completely demolished. Mrs. C.H. Jeffers, who lives near the crossing, said she witnessed the accident from her backyard. "Mrs. Mobley was driving toward town from her ranch on a road which parallels the railroad track," she related. "the train was only a few feet behind the car. The whistle blew several times. I watched the car, expecting Mrs. Mobley to stop. Instead, she rounded the corner and drove right into the path of the train. Apparently the car windows were closed and she didn't hear the whistle. The train struck the Car with a terrible crash." Mrs. Jeffers said she rushed to the accident scene. Mrs. Mobley and Hubbard both were dead, she related. The train stopped at the crossing several minutes, then proceeded into Douglas. Hubbard's body was removed from the car wreckage an hour later. Both bodies were taken to Brown-Page. Peace Justice E. L. Steward, who investigated the accident, said an inquest will be held as soon as members of the train crew can be contacted. Police said the wreck brought to five the number of persons killed in the Douglas area during 1945 in automobile accidents. Mrs. Mobley, well-known in Douglas, is reported to have come to Arizona in 1900 from Texas. She lived in the Gila River area before moving here. The Mobley ranch in recent years has been the scene of many barbecues and rodeos.

MORGAN:

MORGAN, Ben. December 19, 1933. Bisbee Pioneer Burns To Death (Front page, top headline). B. Morgan Cremated in Cabin. Body of Aged Man Charred Mass When Removed From Huachuca Mt. Home. Rescue was Hopeless. Neighbors in Ash Canyon Aware of Fire After Rifle Shells Exploded. Ben Morgan, aged 74, one of the earliest settlers in the Bisbee district, was burned to death in his adobe cabin in Ash Canyon of the Huachuca Mountains last night, adding another chapter to the long train of tragedies, and violent deaths which have occurred in and near the community the last few days. The body of Mr. Morgan was an unrecognizable, charred man when finally removed from the holocaust early this morning. Living alone in the cabin where he had made his home for the last 25 years, the pioneer is believed to have awakened too late to escape from the burning house, believed to have caught fire as the result of the overheating of a stove. The location of the body indicated that he had arisen from his bed and struggled vainly in the dense smoke and flames to reach the door, which was at the other end of the cabin. Neighbors of Mr.

Morgan, living a quarter of a mile down the canyon, were first aware of the fire when they heard a series of rifle shots caused by exploding shells in the burning cabin. After the second series of shots they rushed to the Morgan cabin and found the home of the aged man a roaring inferno with no possibility of rescuing him or entering the burning house for his body. In the meantime relatives in Bisbee were notified and Ernie Johnson, an employee of the Bisbee Motor Company, arriving at the scene as the flames were dying down finally succeeded in entering the cabin at 3:30 o’clock this morning. Before the flames died down, however, a terrific blast shook the remains of the cabin as a stick and a half of dynamite, used by Morgan in his mining operations in the Huachucas, exploded with a terrific roar. Gathering together his remains, Johnson interred the body of Morgan at a spot near his cabin this afternoon. The pioneer had often expressed his wish that he be buried on the grounds of his mountain ranch where he had lived for so many years. Mr. Morgan for many years made his home in Bisbee, following his occupation as a miner. Born in California, he came to this section of the then wild southwest when a youth and was one of the early residents of Bisbee. He had prospected and followed placer mining in the Huachucas for the last 30 or 35 years, his friends here said today. He is survived by a son, Charles Morgan, who lived a mile up Ash canyon, a daughter, Mrs. Josephine Johnson of this city, and by Mr. and Mrs. Ernie Johnson. The Bisbee Evening Ore.

MOSS, Alice. Alice Moss’ Sudden Death. Alice Moss, a young woman who has resided in this city for some time, died yesterday under rather peculiar circumstances. At least Coroner Brown thought the circumstances sufficiently strange to call for a postmortem examination and an inquest into the cause of death. Miss Moss died in her room at a house on Chihuahua hill yesterday at 11:30 o’clock, evidently from an overdose of some powerful drug, or from poisoning. Dr. Hart had been called in at 6 o’clock in the morning and found the patient suffering from what he considered the effects of morphine. He employed every means known to his profession to revive the patient, but was unable to do so and Miss Moss passed away at the hour stated. From what can be learned Miss Moss had called in Dr. Johnson the evening previous, and he found her suffering much pain. He prescribed for her, after doing what he could to alleviate her sufferings. Dr. Johnson left some morphine for his patient’s use, and it is thought that possibly she did not follow the physician’s instructions, and took an overdose of the drug, thereby causing her own death. Miss Moss was a sufferer from paralysis from birth, her entire left side being deformed from the disease. Otherwise she was a strong woman, and was able to earn her own living by manual work. Since taking up her residence in Bisbee she has worked in the capacity of a domestic and as a washerwoman. Up to the time of her death she was employed at the Murphy hand laundry down the canyon. Her affliction caused Miss Moss to suffer from time to time excruciating pain, and at these times she has been accustomed to call in a physician. It was while suffering from one of these painful attacks that she called in Dr. Johnson. While not addicted to the use of strong drinks, so far as known, she state to Dr. Johnson when he called that she had enough whisky in her to set a person drunk. She was never known to use morphine or other strong drug except when suffering from one of her particularly painful attacks, and it is thought the she took the overdose by mistake. Her mother, Mrs. M. E. Moss resides in Fresno, California, and the local authorities have communicated with her to learn what disposition of the body is desired. A brother is said to live in Butte, Montana, but his address in that city is unknown to any one in Bisbee. A reply from the mother of the dead girl is looked for this morning. Unless she orders that the body be shipped to Fresno, interment will take place here on Monday. M. J. Brown, ex-officio coroner, has ordered Dr. Edmundson to make a post mortem examination of the remains, for the purpose of determining the exact cause of death. A jury was impaneled last evening, as soon as the facts of Miss Moss’ death became known to the coroner, and they visited the International undertaking parlors, where the body was being prepared for burial. As soon as an autopsy has been performed, and all the evidence collected, the jury will sit to hear it. The coroner has set 11 o’clock Monday morning as the time of hearing the testimony. The exact age of the deceased is not known, but from her appearance it is probable that she was not over 30. Friday evening Miss Moss met a friend and told her that she was feeling as well as usual. It is known that she suffered incessant pain, but early Friday evening this was not of sufficient intensity to require the services of a physician. But little is known of Miss Moss’ life up to the time that she came to Bisbee, but her friends speak of her in the most complimentary terms as a kind woman and patient sufferer. The Bisbee Daily Review, Bisbee, Arizona. Sunday, 9 Aug 1903. Pg. 4. Submitted by Jean Walker.

Coroner’s Jury Finds Death of Alice Moss Is Due To The Negligence of Physician. The coroner’s jury which sat to consider the cause of death of Miss Alice Moss returned a somewhat sensational verdict Tuesday. The jury’s verdict was as follows: We find that the deceased, Alice Moss was a native of California, aged 24, and that she came to her death on the morning of the 8th day of August, 1903 in Bisbee, Ariz., and we find that the cause of death was due to the negligence of the attending physician, Dr. M. D. Johnson, he

having been found to have administered powerful drugs and neglected his patient. There were five witnesses examined at the inquest into the cause of death. They were Drs. Edmunson, Hart and Johnson, Mrs. Harrison and E. Howell, a carpenter, who resides in the house where Miss was rooming at the time of her death, and who was present when Dr. Johnson administered hypodermic injections to the patient. The weight of testimony was by the physicians, who stated that the woman, in addition to being a sufferer from partial paralysis, had been attacked by a most malignant disease, which had virtually destroyed every organ in her body with the exception of her heart. Howell’s testimony was to the effect that he had been sent for the physician when Miss Moss became seriously ill on the night of the 7th and that he was present at the time when Dr. Johnson injected morphine into the patient’s arm. The reason that he knew that it was morphine which the doctor used, the witness stated, was because Dr. Johnson had told him so. He saw three doses of the drug administered. He further stated that he had reason to believe that there had been two further injections of the same drug administered to Miss Moss by Dr. Johnson for the doctor requested him to leave the room while he did so. The only portion of Dr. Johnson’s testimony that went to refute that of Howell’s was his statement to the jury that it was not morphine that he administered to Miss Moss on the night before her death, but that it was hycine-hydrobromate, a drug far less dangerous to the patient. He also admitted having left morphine for the use of the patient but no one knew whether she had ever used it or not. All trace of the tablets and the box containing them has been lost. There has been an air of mystery surrounding the death of Alice Moss in this city on Saturday last, and it has been a difficult matter to get at the bottom of the case. Miss Moss died Saturday morning at 11 o’clock in a shanty on Chihuahua hill, and the body was in the undertaking parlor within an hour, and being embalmed. It was after 6 that evening when Coroner Brown became aware of the fact that there had been a death. It was fully 8 o’clock before a jury could be impaneled and view the body. Monday the case was to have been considered by the jury, but a postponement resulted on account of the absence of one of the important witnesses. It now transpires that at the autopsy which was performed by Dr. Edmundson the condition of the woman was revealed to have been such that should could not have survived long had no medicine or drugs been administered. That Miss Moss has been addicted to the use of strong drugs there is now little doubt. Dr. Edmundson’s testimony on this point was to the effect that he has found her able to take two grains of the deadly stuff within two hours apart. What will be the next step in the investigation of the case remains to be seen. The verdict of the jury makes it a case of investigation for the territorial officials. Whether, after carefully examining the testimony offered in this city, they will deem it necessary to go any further with the case is doubtful. Three competent physicians testified that the decedent was a victim of one of the most loathsome diseases known to the medical profession and she could not have survived its ravages much longer. The verdict of the jury was called to the attention of Dr. Johnson yesterday, but he had nothing to say beyond to express his surprise. Last evening he was called up on the phone and requested to make a statement to the public through the columns of the Review, but this he did not care to do. Said the doctor, over the phone, “I don’t care to make a statement at this time. More will be heard of this case later when the statements of that carpenter will be further looked in to.” Pressed for a more comprehensive statement Dr. Johnson’s reiterated his desire not to talk on the subject. The jury which sat on the case included the following: Simon F. Tate, C. Hinson, Mathew E. Doyle, A. E. Krause and W. H. Lutovich. The Bisbee Daily Review, Bisbee, Arizona. Thursday, 13 Aug 1903.

MYERS:

MYERS, John Sr, born Nov 4, 1914 at Hattiesburg, Miss. Died Aug 16, 1995 at Douglas, AZ. Burial Aug 19, 1995 at Calvary Cemetery, Douglas, AZ with Rev. Mary Alice Do of 1st Christian Church officiating. Arrangements by Curtis Page & Sons of Douglas. Sons: John Jr & James A. One granddaughter.

MYERS, L.T. January 5, 1951. L.T. Myers Buried Here Tuesday. L.T. (Lem) Myers, who loved the mountain tops, was quietly laid to rest here Tuesday morning with the Rev. C. E. Madinger officiating. According to the request that Mr. Myers had previously made to the minister, the services were held with many appropriate passages of scripture being read during the brief service hour. Two of his favorite songs were sung by Mr. Ernest Hart and Mrs. Ott Warren with Mrs. Ella Brockett at the piano. Mr. Myers who was born 58 years ago in Texas, was the son of a circuit riding Methodist preacher and in early life knew all the vicissitudes of a son of a pioneer preacher. He and his wife, whom he married in 1912, came to this section of the country many years ago. During this time the two have climbed to the top and prospected in almost every mountain in this area. Together they studied their geology and knew many of the minerals by their technical name. To further their study they bought, a year ago, a fluorescent lamp and other necessary equipment. They both thoroughly enjoyed having company, at which time they would show their extensive collection of rocks. If the hour was late enough, they would show the beauties that could be seen under the special lamp they had recently purchased. Rockhounds who would come into the country only for a short time found they could get much information from the Myers which would make their time more worthwhile. Although Mr. Myers began ailing two years ago, he fought ill health with all the strength his individualistic nature had. When pain became so great he had to go to the hospital, he rallied and was sure he could overcome it just as he had the rough terrain of the mountains. Death came Friday evening in a Douglas hospital. Interment Tuesday was in the Sunset cemetery beside his two sons, L.T. Myers, Jr. was the first war casualty of this section and his body was brought back from France to be buried here. Richard was accidentally killed in a mine accident several years ago. Reilly-Rottman were the officiating morticians. Surviving Mr. Myers is his wife, Mattie, who was his constant companion, his first born, Mrs. M. Poe, of Bisbee, and his youngest, Agnes, or Mrs. R.K. Trestrail, of Bisbee. Among those from out of town who were here for the funeral were Mrs. Odie McGinley, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Stewart and Mr. and Mrs. W. Stewart, of Sweetwater, Texas, Mrs. Martineau, of Elfrida, Mrs. H. R. Myers, Mrs. Jack Marchbanks, Mrs. Jimmy Trestrail, Mr. and Mrs. Cyril Trestrail, Mrs. Ruth McPherson, Mr. and Mrs. R.K.
