  • (SHPO) Has Been Tasked with Keeping a List of Arizona's Historic
    A.R.S. § 41-511.04 The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) has been tasked with keeping a list of Arizona’s Historic Cemeteries. The list will reside in the SHPO office. There are many dedicated volunteers across our state that have researched and filled out forms so that cemeteries and gravesites across the Arizona might be recorded. The attached table is a current list of those cemeteries documented. This is a very basic list, which includes county, cemetery name, and city. The forms (some with photographs) are located in the SHPO office for storage and research purposes. Column headed with “50 +” √ The data shown is a column for those cemeteries that are 50 years old more o Documentation of cemetery age o Date on a grave marker or cemetery gate Column headed with a “?” √ There is reasonable evidence the cemetery or gravesite is over 50 years old, but nothing can be found to document its age. Some indicators are: o Appearance of the cemetery or gravesite o Local information (anecdotal) o Location and/or name of the cemetery or gravesite Column headed with “New” √ Forms received for cemeteries that are not old enough to qualify o Some of them only have a few years to go before they will become eligible to be listed as historic. o Some need additional information to make any sort of determination We are always looking for additional information on a cemetery already on our list including photographs. There are also cemeteries and gravesites out there for which we haven’t received a form.

  • Interview with Edna Meyer and Retha (Bolding) Beveridge ______
    INTERVIEW WITH EDNA MEYER AND RETHA (BOLDING) BEVERIDGE ________________________________________________________________________ An interview conducted by Jerry Abbitt with long time friends, Edna Meyer and Retha (Bolding) Beveridge. Edna graduated from Glendale High School in 1918 and Retha graduated in 1926. They were interviewed on four different days, May 12, 1992, May 18, 1992, August 6, 1992, and August 28, 1992. UV: [Inaudible] JA: What I got out of that was that George Vancil? RB: Vencil. V-E-N-C-I-L, Edna, or S-I-L? EM: V-E-N-S-I-L. [Glendale City Directories list the name V-E-N-S-E-L.] JA: S-I-L. Okay, now start with him. He got a pair of peacocks? EM: From a Mexican woman. JA: Okay. EM: His aunt, Emma Wilky (who was also my aunt) wanted the first pair he raised. So he raised a pair and gave them to my aunt. Then he decided to sell the remaining pair and mother [Clara E. Wilky Meyer] bought them from him for $5.00. JA: What a buy! [Laughter] EM: Because he wanted a gun. JA: Okay. EM: When Mr. Vensel brought the peacocks over their legs [were] tied together. When he took the hen out of the buggy she flopped and broke her leg. My mother was very upset about that. My dad [John J. Meyer] said he could fix it. He splintered her leg and that was the beginning of the peacock flock. She got well. JA: She got well. Hobbled around a bit? EM: Oh yes, she was able to hobble and fly onto the roost but she was lame.
