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.
