     Word has been received here from J.T. Harbert of the death of his father, Josiah Harbert, which occurred August 27th, of heart failure, caused by old age after a very short illness of one week at his home near Eugene Oregon. He was buried in the Coburg cemetery on the afternoon of the 29th, the pastor of the Coburg M.E. church officiating.
     Josiah Harbert was born in Ohio, April 7th, 1828. In 1852 he removed to Putnam county, Missouri and engaged in farming there until 1859 and in that year started for Colorado, crossing the plains with an ox team. He lived near Denver for a few years and then continued on further west eventually arriving in Montana, where he remained until his departure for Los Angeles, Cal., in 1876. He stayed in Los Angeles but a short time and then came on to the Salt River valley. He was married while living in Ohio to Martha K. Gowel and of the union there were four children who lived to maturity. All of them made Phoenix their home for many years. His wife died in this place a number of years ago.
      The deceased was prominently identified with the early life of Phoenix and to him belongs the distinction of having set out the first orange trees in the valley while serving as a director of the Arizona Improvement company in 1880. The trees were planted near the Arizona Falls and as subsequent events have proved, were a successful venture. He planted sixteen acres in trees the first year, securing the young trees from California. Another enterprise which he started here and which since has assumed large proportions and ------ to grow still larger and more important -s the raising of ostriches. He brought to the valley the first pair and purchased them, like the orange trees in southern California. At the time Grand avenue was built, he platted and named the present town of Alhambra. In 1900 he erected the El Dorado hotel on north Second avenue. He was formerly a member of the Knights of Pythias and while here was an active member of the Methodist Episcopal church, being a trustee and a member of the building committee.
