About Benjamin Weaver of Arizona Territory

"Ben Weaver; On April 10, 1865, Apaches also killed Pauline Weaver’s son, Ben, on the Brill Ranch, three miles below Wickenburg on the Hassayampa River. Ben, who apparently had enjoyed no more success as a miner than did his father, was wrangling a herd of fifteen very valuable horses which had just arrived from California when the Indians attacked him. According to Ray Weaver, the grandson of Pauline’s brother, Duff:

“Ben’s body was found full of arrows and one large rifle slug. The arrows were all broken off so as to strip him of his clothes. He was buried on this ranch, the grave is not located”.
