David Conway, one of Gila county's most promising young men, passed away at the county hospital Wednesday morning, after three months spent almost continuously under the care of a physician. The young man was taken sick with pneumonia about three months ago, and for several days attending physicians held no hope for his recovery. Expert care and medical aid given young Conway, nursed him back to health and he was removed to his home. He was advised to seek outdoor life and the young man took to automobile riding in order to regain his health.
On one of his first outdoor trips, he was caught in an automobile accident, which caused him to again be taken to the hospital for treatment. During his stay in the hospital, the attending physicians were unable to agree as to where the man was injured, but he apparently recovered from the effects of the accident and was about to leave the hospital when he was taken ill with appendicitis, for which he underwent an operation. Again the young man regained strength and was about to be taken home, when illness overtook him. He underwent a second operation, for internal trouble, but never recovered from its effects, dying at the hospital last Wednesday morning.
Young Conway was engaged to marry Miss Alma Smith, the nurse who looked after him during his long spell of sickness. Miss Smith was at the bedside of her fiancee day and night from the time he first entered the hospital to the time of his death.
The deceased was 24 years of age, at the time o f his death, he is survived by a mother living at 440 East Mesquite street; three sisters, Belle, Mary and Georgia and two brothers, Far and Edward. The father, E.C. Conway died here six months ago. The body was laid at rest Friday afternoon at the Globe cemetery."
