OLDEST WHIE MAN IN ARIZONA DIES
Death stepped into the pioneer home yesterday and took from it within a quarter of an hour, two of the oldest inhabitants, one of them, Thomas J. Foster, said to be the oldest white man in the state of Arizona.{article continues with information about Mr. Foster}
Louis Dugas, who's passing occurred after several hours of unconsciousness, died at 6:35 p.m., aged 79 years and 10 months.
THEY WERE TRUE PIONEERS
Both of the decedents were truly pioneers of Arizona.
Dugas was admitted from Maricopa county. He had lived in Prescott in the early days, however., and 42 years ago was a member of the Atzlan Lodge No 1, Free and Accepted Masons, in this city. He was visited last week by a son, Fred, who lives beyond Mayer, and is quite well known in the county. Mr. Dugas had been ill for a number of days and the last few hours he lived, he was unconscious.
Funerals will probably be held together, or at least on the same day. The date will be announced later.
