SUCCUMBED TO TYPHOID FEVER

Death of Marion W. Aubury, a Well Known Engineer Connected With the Reclamation Service at Yuma Last Friday.

The following item from the Los Angeles Times will be read with regret by many who were personally acquainted with the deceased Marion W. Aubrey and with the news interest by many others who are friends of his relatives, resident hereabout now and in past years. He was a grandson of C. A. Tweed who was the first judge of the Arizona territorial court in this district. Also he was a nephew of the late Mrs. M. H. Calderwood of this city and has numerous other relatives living here. The Times says:
Marion W. Aubury, a mining engineer, who has been prominent in the oil and mining affairs of this state and Arizona for the past thirty years, died at Yuma, Ariz. on the 24th inst. and is being brought to this city for burial.

Mrs. Emily J. Aubury of the Hotel Auditorium, this city, was summoned to Yuma when her son was taken sick with typhoid fever, and was at his bedside when he died. She is expected to arrive with the body this morning and the funeral will be conducted tomorrow. Lewis E. Aubury, ex-state mineralogist, a brother of the deceased, said last night that interment will be in this city, but he has postponed making the funeral arrangements until his mother arrives.

In addition to Mrs. Augury and Lewis E, the late engineer leaves another brother, W. H. Aubury. The three brothers, natives of California, all became mining engineers and have long been identified with the state's mining interest. Lewis E. Aubury said his brother was one of the first men in California to realize the future of the oil industry here, and did a great deal to advance it.

At the time of his death, Marion W. Aubury was connected with the reclamation project near Yuma. He was instrumental in the opening of the Bodie mine, in Mono county, in 1889 and the Tombstone mine in Arizona in 1885-86. He was 52 years of age, a native of Sacramento, and a graduate of St. Augustine College, Benicia.
