Death of Guy Cooley, Carlisle Ex-student.
In the Daily Silver Belt of November 29, published
at Globe, Ariz., is the following notice of Guy Gooley's death:
"Guy Cooley, an Indian in the service of the Indian Department,
age 24, an ex-student of Carlisle Indian School, died yesterday at Rice,
Ariz., of tuberculosis. His remains have been brought to this city of burial.
"Cooley was one of the most highly educated Indians in
the Service. He was connected with the department at Washington up to the
time he was 21 yars of age, when he contracted tuberculosis adn was transferred
from the Capital to Rice in 1909, where he has reamined ever since.
"Cooley was born in Montana and was half Arapahoe and
half Gros-Ventre.
"Dr. J. S. Perkins, head of the schools at Rice, accompanied
the remains to this city."
Guy was graduated from Carlisle in 1909, and was one of
the brightest students in the class, as well as one of the best beloved,
owing to his sunny disposition and clean habits; also for his gentlemanly
manners, of which the whole school were justly proud. A large circle of
friends, here and elsewhere, are mourning over his untimely death.
"Whom the gods love die young."
