Arthur Atkinson Dead
Word was received on last Saturday of the death of Arthur T. Atkinson at Nogales, Arizona, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Atkinson, of Estancia. For some time he had been a sufferer from tuberculosis and had gone to Arizona a few months ago, in hope that the change of climate might, prove beneficial. On account of the snow blockade and Mrs. Atkinson not being well, Mr. Atkinson could not go to Nogales. He instructed friends at that place to inter the remains, intending later to remove them to the Estancia cemetery.
This is the second son the family has lost during the winter, and they have the sympathy of all the residents of the valley in their double affliction.
Obituary
Arthur Terry Atkinson, son of Mr; and Mrs. M. B. Atkinson, treasurer of Torrance county, died at Nogales, Arizona, March 12 109, aged 24 years, 9 months, and Í3 days. He was born in Minar county, Texas, May 24, 1884. Being afflicted with lung trouble, he came to New Mexico in the Spring of 1902 in hopes of regaining his health. His parents, brothers and sisters came the following year and settled at Estancia. Since that time Arthur has been in business with his father and brother in central New Mexico, part of the time making Estancia his headquarters. During the past year he has failed rapidly in health, and two months ago went to Southern Arizona, seeking a milder climate.
At the time of his death, the railroads being blocked with snow, it was impossible to move the remains, and for the time being they were laid to rest at Nogales, under the direction of the Masonic Order.
Besides his parents, he leaves four brothers and three sisters to mourn his departure, and a very large number of friends and acquaintances all of whom regarded him as a young man of remarkable ability, honor and strength of character.
Union memorial services will be held in his memory at the M. E. Church, Sunday morning, March 28, instead of the regular Presbyterian Church service.
