I never mentioned he was married, but the cemetery where his wife is located does not have a record for him according to the office. Other locations in the Phoenix area have been searched..Since some of his folks were in the Pinal area it was possible he was there..Thank you fo4r the obit and the 'missing headstone' suggestion.

I'm not related, but I'm looking around online for clues.

Here's his brother's obit (from Casa Grande Dispatch | Casa Grande, Arizona | Friday, July 04, 2003 | Page 2)

Re: Palmer COOPER

chatterchit — 2009-10-22 15:51:59Z

Have you contacted the cemetery where his wife is buried? He might not be buried next to her, but he could be in the same cemetery, and he might not have a visible headstone...

I am searching for the location of the burial of my grandmother's brother, Marvin Franklin Jones. He died on 1 April 1973 in Coolidge, Arizona. How can I find out what cemetery he is buried in?

Re: Seeking grave location

hmartinsoward3 — 2009-01-04 14:18:27Z

Thank you very much for the information. I am on my way to Arizona from Texas now and hope to search that cemetery on Sunday. I appreciate your assistance.

Re: Seeking grave location

HMartinS — 2009-03-13 19:45:55Z

Thank you for inquiring. Yes, I did find the cemetery but only after I had returned to Texas. He is buried in Valley Memorial Park, section D, block 6, lot 2, space 2. I did go to that cemetery in January and my son and I walked two sections before having to leave due to the rain. I got the information on the burial site from Simes Mortuaries in Coolidge. They were very pleasant and helpful. Hopefully I will be in that area again some day and be able to visit the gravesite.

Glad to hear that you were able to find the grave site you were searcing for. Don't know that I'd have been able to have located it, but I'd have tried. I know what it's like to be many miles away from an area where an ancestor is buried and completely understood your plight.

Willliam T Day obituary

jkscott59 — 2008-07-09 17:41:34Z

obituary in the Casa Grande Dispatch, AZ, Nov. 26, 1920:

BELOVED PIONEER PASSES AWAY

LONG AND USEFUL LIFE CLOSES AFTER CREDIBLE CAREER

In the passing of W. T. Day Tuesday morning at the family residence, Casa Grande, AZ, loses another of her old pioneers.

His son, Darby A. Day had just returned on Monday, and Mrs. Day and the two sons, Darby A. and W. T. Day Jr., were at his side when the end came at 10 a.m. November 23. Distance kept away the only daughter, Mabel Ludwig, who resides in Leechburg, PA.

Mr. Day had been ill for some weeks and the end approached gradually. The funeral was held from the family residence, conducted by Rev. N. R. Curtis of the Presbyterian church assisted by Rev. A. S. Baillie of the Christian church.

The Masonic Lodge had charge of the burial services at the grave. Mr. Day was born at Front Royal, VA, February 1840. He was a Civil War veteran and captain in the IL Infantry. He taught school in early life and after the war pioneered in the west. He married in 1874 and came to AZ in 1883, where in 1891 and 1892 he served in the State Legislature.

Mr. Day was a man of many letters of liberal education and judicial mind, of kindly heart and generous nature.

In the early days he took the place of both physician and preacher, ministering to both the sick and the dying.

Mr. Day was a leader among men and a champion of the poor, adhering to the principle of the Golden Rule.

For 60 years he was a Mason of good standing and loyalty, continuing in good standing in the lodge into which he was first inducted. Mr. Day loved AZ as his own and was beloved by all men. The sympathy of many friends goes out to the bereft family.

----------------------------------

biography notes provided by the Weaver family descendants:

Day moved west and tried mining and trading in UT, CO, MN, NM, and finally AZ. In 1883 he was superintendent of the Vekol Mine southwest of Casa Grande, AZ. In 1886, Rosalie and their 3 children moved there to join him.

In 1889, Day bought a small adobe house in Casa Grande, AZ, so that he could then run for the State Legislature. The family used this house to stay in whenever they visited town. He served for 1 session in 1891-1892 but "refused to engage in politics after that. He was glad to get back, he said, and trade with honest people--Indians."

While the family lived and operated a trading post at the Vekol Mine, it was said that one afternoon Rosalie was visited by the sudden appearance of an Apache Indian, who she immediately chased away. Later she was told that her visitor had been a friend named Geronimo.

In the late 1890s, Day left the Vekol Mine and started a trading post and assay office in Quijotoa, where he taught farming, provided medical care, and was a tribal judge for today's Tohono O'Odham Nation of the Papagos. He moved the family to Quijotoa in 1895.

Per the 1910 federal census, Day was living at the mining town of Silverbell in Pima County, AZ, northwest of Tucson.

In 1914, Day moved his family permanently to Casa Grande and enlarged their small adobe house. It is located on First Street at the corner of Sacaton Street. There he died.

Both Day and his wife Rosalie were buried in the Weaver's family cemetery, which is located on S. Peart Road in Casa Grande, AZ.

I located this information:

Daniel Donner (480) 907-7721 6730 E Preston St, Mesa, AZ 85215

Although he is in Mesa, Maricopa County, Arizona, he is just a stone's throw from Apache Junction (AJ), Pinal County, Arizona. People who live this far east in Mesa will often mention AJ when giving directions.

Good luck,

My grandmother name was Concepcion Lamadrid. She was from Caborca Sonora Mexico and married my grandfather Antonio Richards in 1890 in Tucson AZ.

He was a member of Benito Juarez’s government. After Benito died, he returned to Caborca. One of Mexican dictator that apposed Benito caught him in Caborca and was going to shot him. When my grandmother found out she committed suicide.

He was able to escape Tucson where he died in 1920.

Does anything her ring a bell for you?
