Pioneer of State Called By Death
Anton Armbruster, 84, pioneer of Arizona since 1889 and resident of the Senator district near Prescott since 1900, died at 12:40 p.m. Thursday at the Pioneers Home.
A Catholic by faith, funeral services will be held in the Sacred Heart church Monday morning at 9 o'clock by Father Arthur Crook, followed by interment in Mountain View cemetery.
Arrangements for funeral services were made with the Ruffner Funeral Home by the deceased more than a year ago, as he was then in failing health.
He was a charter member of the local Knights of Columbus.
Mr. Armbruster was born in Germany June 10, 1854, and came to Cincinnati when 16 years of age. In 1874, he left Cincinnati and went to California where he engaged in mining, working also for a time in Nevada. In 1888, he went to Holbrook to visit a brother and spent two years prospecting in the locality, coming to Prescott in 1900 and locating claims in the Senator district where he lived until he entered the Pioneers Home on June 5 of this year.
He is survived by a sister-in-law, Mr. M. Armbruster, San Francisco; a niece, Mrs. Harry Warburton, San Francisco, and another nephew, Max Armbruster, in Germany.
