FLAGSTAFF HISTORY

Flagstaff History: City awaited Flagstaff Pine Country Pro Rodeo kickoff

100 years ago

1925: Frank Chisholm better not come back to Flagstaff. In another column we’re saying all manner of good things about him and his leaving here. Now we learn that without asking the consent of people here, not even telling them about it or asking their advice, he’s gone over to Los Angeles and got a license to marry Miss Roberta S. Sinclair. Deducing from that, it is deduced that he’s married by this time and on a gallivanting honeymoon jaunt. Frank is Scotch. He’s never shown the national trait, closeness of fist, but his friends here’ll agree he makes up for it in closeness of mouth; for he never told no one. Certain it is that Frank has made a wise choice. And his bride is no poor picker when it comes to getting a husband. Congratulations to both and hopes Frank will soon bring her back here and pass around the introductions. Besides, there are a few things about him we want to whisper to her in the strictest confidence.



Susan Johnson has lived in Flagstaff for over 30 years and loves to delve into her adopted hometown’s past. She has written two books for the History Press, Haunted Flagstaff and Flagstaff’s Walkup Family Murders, and, with her son Nick, manages Freaky Foot Tours. You’ll find her hiking the trails with her corgi, Shimmer.

All events were taken from issues of the Arizona Daily Sun and its predecessors, the Coconino Weekly Sun and the Coconino Sun.
