We regret to announce the death of William P. Tossell who was stricken with apoplexy at his home at Gold Avenue on Tuesday and succumbed to his illness Wednesday morning at 12:30.

Mrs. Tossell and two sons Charles and C.R. Tossell were with him when the end came, the last named having just arrived from Douglas, Ariz. on Monday, the day before his father was taken ill. Another son W.F. Tossell in San Diego, Cal., has been notified.

Mr. Tossell was one of the first settlers in Deming, having come here from Michigan in 1883 and since that time has given his best to the moral and commercial upbuilding of the community. He was a member of the Methodist church and was also prominent in Masonic circles.

Mr. Tossell was 67 year sold and had already suffered two strokes of a similar nature, but on each occasion he recovered and was able to return to his place of business. His death is a distinct loss to the community, and none regret his passing away more than the oldtimers who have lived with and known him for the past thirty years.

The funeral services were conducted at the home of the deceased by Rev. H.M. Bruce yesterday morning and interment was made in the local cemetery. (Deming Headlight, 13 Jun 1913)
