WILLIAM SIMPSON COMER WILLIAM S. COMER PASSES AWAY Sep 21, 1839 - October 13, 1923 News was received here (Idaho Springs, CO) Saturday evening by Mrs. Evalina L. Callow that her father, William S. Comer, had passed away at his home in Prescott, Ariz., where he had made his home for the past thirty years, at the ripe old age of 84. Mr. Comer was born in Missouri Sept. 21, 1839, and passed on Oct. 13, 1923. Mr. Comer is survived by two sons and two daughters, John M.. and Arthur (Aubrey) E.Comer of Prescott, Ariz., Mrs. Lottie L. Miller of Phoenix, Ariz., and Mrs. Evalina L. Callow of this city. Mrs. Callow had just returned from a visit with her father and other relatives in Arizona having arrived here Sept. 7. When she left for home her father was apparently in good health. He was a member of Idaho Springs lodge No. 26, A.F.&A.M., having joined the order in Missouri and then demitted to the lodge here in 1897. Mr. Comer was actively engaged in mining in this district for many years, having at different times opened up properties that later were developed into good producing mines, but left here thirty-one years ago for Arizona. The funeral services were held in Prescott, Monday, under the auspices of the Masonic Lodge of that city. Mr. Comer made his home in this city for many years, coming here when a young man, and engaged in mining. He was the man that sunk the shaft on the Lamartine, in the Freeland district, which subsequently became one of the great mines of the county, when Messrs. Armstrong, Burns, Williams and Hanchett, operating the property under a lease, took out $616,000 from the property in sixteen months, and which later on produced millions, it having a production record of over $3,000,000 to date, and is said to be good that many millions more if mined like it was in the early days.
