| Prescott Morning Courier, Prescott, Arizona Territory Saturday, June 21, 1907, page 2, column 3 Archie Richards was killed by a cave-in by a drift in the Rockfellow mine, Hassayampa district yesterday. He was a miner and was at work in the drift. He was about 26 years of age, and had resided in this section for about ten years; at one time he was engaged in the mercantile business at Walker. He was a good citizen and a very worthy young man. His untimely death is a matter of general regret. --------------------- rescott Weekly Courier, Prescott, Arizona Territory Friday, June 27, 1902, page 2 The remains of the late Archie Richards were buried from Logan's Undertaking Parlor last Saturday evening.

The deceased was an exemplary young man, but 24 years of age, and was a brother of Mrs. G. G. Henderson, of Lynx creek.

He was endeavoring at the time of the accident to rescue a fellow miner whose foot was caught by a cave-in, being pinned so firmly that he could not move, and it was while endeavoring to remove the boulder that a second cave followed which caught Richards and killed him instantly. In endeavoring to save one man, he lost his own life, and this makes his death all the more sorrowful. He was a young man, but 24 years of age, agreeable at all times and universally popular, as was shown by the large number of people who came from Lynx Creek to attend the funeral.
