Re: Emil and Julia Thomas Bakery
Folks: It looks like I caused some consternation about the Waltz obituary (Phoenix Daily Herald, 26 October 1891). That was unintentional, but it is totally my fault. I should have been more clear about the source of the scan I posted (I simply noted the newspaper and page/column where it originally...

Re: Emil and Julia Thomas Bakery
Hello All: Apologies for the quality of the Waltz obituary scans. Here are the only other copies and transcripts that I have handy. This is the obituary in question as it appeared on page 31 of Helen Corbin's first book (The Curse of the Dutchman's Gold, 1990): http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/ee3...

Re: Emil and Julia Thomas Bakery
AshtonPage: The difference in Helen Corbin's two LDM books suggests that the story of Waltz dying in Julia's store emerged sometime between 1990 and 2002. Dr Glover also addressed this relatively recent version of Waltz's death in his first LDM book (The Golden Dream) published in 1998, so you could...

Re: Emil and Julia Thomas Bakery
All: Fair warning - this will be a fairly long post. If you're not interested in the details, just read these first few lines and you'll get the gist. Something that still needs to be discussed are the three author's books that readers were told supported the Sims Ely passage on Julia's location. Th...

Re: Emil and Julia Thomas Bakery
Frank A Phillips would continue the confectionery and fruit store at the George Loring building long after his partner's retirement in April 1892: http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/ee327/ozarker2/PL/1892-04-21_PhillipsampLeggatDissolving_AZRep_p1c6.png (Arizona Republic, 21 April 1892, page 1 colum...

Re: Emil and Julia Thomas Bakery
Two days before Jacob Waltz's death, there was more unexpected excitement in the Phillips & Leggat store: http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/ee327/ozarker2/PL/1891-10-24_PhillipsampLeggatDamage_AzRep_p1c5.png (Arizona Republic, 24 October 1891, page 1 column 5) http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/...

Re: Emil and Julia Thomas Bakery
In August 1891, shortly after the shooting in front of their store, Phillips and Leggat made arrangements to purchase the entire fall harvest of Montgomery's orchards, and needed a place to store some of the fruit. Their solution was to dig a cellar beneath the store they were leasing from George Lo...

Re: Emil and Julia Thomas Bakery

Quick justice!
