The deceased, better known to his friends as "Hop", was born October 25, 1881 at Lasater, Tex., and would have been 63 years of age this fall. He was a retired railroad conductor and came to Flagstaff in September, 1942, from his home at Glenmora, La., for the benefit of his health. Mr. Pyland took him to Wickenburg about eight weeks ago hoping the change of climate would benefit his health and only last week end took him to a specialist at Prescott. His death was due to asthma and heart complications.
Other than his brother he is survived by a sister, Mrs. R. E. Honeycutt of Glenmora, La.
