Information from Prescott, AZ visit

The following are some documents I collected copies of while in Prescott, AZ.

For Gerald Carothers and Dixie Chloe Black, I have a copy of their Marriage License and Marriage Certificate.

For John H. Carlisle and Bertha Lucretia Redwine, I have a copy of their Marriage License and Marriage Certificate.

I also have some pictures of grave markers from the Mountain View Cemetery in Prescott, AZ. Unfortunately, William Henry Carothers and his wife Lucretia have no markers. I plan on chatting with the family and raising some money to remedy that. Of course, the cemetery has excellent maps of the locations of all the graves, and we did stop by William and Lucretia's graves.



Edwin Richie Black is a cousin of my father's that drowned while training for the FBI in New Orleans. I hope I got that right. I'll have to get more information on that. I believe he is the son of Allan Black who lived in Prescott, AZ working as a plumber. Uncle Allan was there when Dixie Black and her sister, Zelma, lived in Prescott. I'll have to collect more information to nail that down better. My Dad told me about his grave being in this cemetery, so we stopped by Edwin's grave.



Ella B. Tewksbury is Ella B. Redwine, Lucretia's sister. Ella took care of the arrangements for Lucretia's burial. In fact, William Henry Carothers is buried in the grave directly to the left of Ella's husband.



This is the grave marker for Ella's husband, Walter Scott Tewksbury.
