His dead body was found in a small house near the spring in Prescott. ------------------------------------- Arizona Weekly Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Wednesday, July 25, 1900, page 1, column 4 Suicide At Prescott An Old Mining Man Grew Tired Of Life Harry Arnott committed suicide this afternoon by strychnine over at the spring, over in West Prescott. He was about 40 years of age. He leaves a wife and several small children. The Odd Fellows are looking after the body and burial. An inquest was held by Judge Moore. Arnott was the locator and part owner of the 'Little Annie' group of mines in the Big Bug district, and sold it to the Providence Gold Mining Company three years ago. ------------------------------------ The Arizona Republican, Phoenix, Arizona Territory Thursday, July 26, 1900, page 1, column 4 The funeral of Harry Arnolt of Big Bug, who committed suicide here Monday evening, occurred today. His burial was under the auspices of the Odd Fellows. ------------------------------------- The Arizona Republican, Phoenix, Arizona Territory Thursday Morning, July 26, 1900, page 7, column 1 Henry Arnolt of Big Bug committed suicide this evening by taking most of the contents of two small vials of strychnine into his stomach. He had been drinking for some days and had come to the end of his 'pile,' or rather, last Friday he gave the contents of his wallet,m about $240, into the care and custody of his better half, who with her charming little family of three or four children, went back to Big Bug, and when his money was gone he called for more, but could not obtain it from his prudent helpmate. Getting despondent and seeing no way of immediately refilling his almost empty pockets he did what ten men or more would have done - ended his troubles for good and all. He was about 40 years of age, was one of the original locators and owners of the "Little Annie" group of mines (named for his wife) and which property passed into litigation through the agency of the Providence Gold Mining company. This property is to be sold this week at sheriff's sale to satisfy Creditors, and this may have been partly the cause of Mr. Arnolt's despondency. His wife telephoned in that as he had been an Odd Fellow it was her desire that that organization should look after the interment and other matters pertaining to his death. Transcriber's note: Mr. Arnolt is buried in an unmarked grave at the Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona. |
