The Funeral 'Bus' - Mysteries in the Cemetery

Arizona Republic (Phoenix, Arizona) · 19 Jul 1898


We are not sure who this could be, but he certainly is very thorough to think of his own "funeral bus".  Can you solve our mystery?

If he did die on July 18th, there is one man who died that day, was married, and could possibly be him. Ponciano Flores (death cert. says Ponceant, but I think that is a misspelling). Died on that day of gastroenteritis, had been sick for 6 weeks. He was buried in Loosley. There is a Ponciano Flores in Phoenix who was a shoemaker, but he is in the 1900 Census, so that can't be that him. Here's a link to the death cert. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-XCZS-Z3G?personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AFLK9-VTP There were a few other men who died that day, but they were listed as single.
