Requiem mass was said in St. Anthony's Catholic Church at 8 a.m. Monday for Tony Grijalva, generally considered the oldest native son, who passed away November 26 at the Echo Hills Home. He was 77 years of age.
The Rev. D. F. O'Sullivan officiated and burial took place in the Garcia Cemetery. Rosary was said at 8:30 p.m. Sunday.
Mr. Grijalva was born in Wickenburg February 17, 1888. As a boy he knew Henry Wickenburg, who had founded the town bearing his name in 1863, and he liked to tell of the friendship which sprang up between the older man and the youngster.
During his lifetime Mr Grijalva worked at various times as a cowboy, miner, nurseryman and grave digger. He found great pleasure in telling of the early days of the town of Wickenburg when life was rugged and survival came only to those able to cope with the raw and primitive conditions governing frontier life.
Surviving are the widow Antonia; two daughters, Mrs Isabel Cordova of Wickenburg and Mrs Teresa Wilder of Las Vegas, Nev; three stepchildren, Joe Arnos and Mrs Chona Martinez, Wickenburg; and Marcel Arnos, Phoenix. Eleven grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren also survive.
