John Stafford Found Dead
John STAFFORD, a pioneer of this county, was found dead in his room yesterday in the Rainier View hotel, where he had been stopping since Friday. Coroner Bakeman examined the remains and decided that heart failure was the cause of his death and that an inquest was not necessary. The funeral will be held tomorrow at 1:30, the body being taken direct from the undertaking parlors to the G.A.R. cemetery, where the local G.A.R. post will conduct burial services. John STAFFORD was born in Kentucky sixty-eight years ago. He came of an old Virginia family, a branch of which removed to the Bourbon state. During the civil war he fought with the Fourteenth Ky. volunteer infantry. He came to this county twenty years of more ago, and built up a home on Staffords Island. So far as known he leaves no relatives in this state. Source: Everett Daily Herald, Snohomish Co. Washington, June 6, 1904
