For reasons not yet determined, Arthur DeLoach left his family in Lauderdale
County, TN before 1880 and went to Tombstone, Pima County, Arizona.  He was
apparently seeking his fortune, because in 1881, he either bought or filed
claim to three silver mines.  One of these he named The Tennessee Mine.  He
appears twice in the 1880 Pima County, AZ census, once as a member of the
Muldoon Mining Camp, and once at his residence in Tombstone (he owned a lot
and a cabin on Fremont Street).  In the latter listing, he is shown as 58
years old, he, his father and mother born in North Carolina.  Arthur died
intestate on 18 Jan 1882 in Tombstone, and was buried in the Boothill
Cemetery.  The cause of death is unknown.  George Pridham was appointed as the
Administrator of his estate.  An inventory of his estate determined that his
lot and cabin were valued at $40, a team of horses, harnesses and an old wagon
were sold for $112, and the three mines were deemed to have no value.  The
expenses for his burial in Boothill were $73.36.  The expenses for the
administration of his estate were $84.40.  There was no mention of a family in
his probate records.
