"Huachuca" is a Native American word from the Sobaipuri or O'odham (Pima) languages.
It most often translates to "place of thunder" or "place of wind and rain," describing the heavy seasonal summer storms in southeast Arizona.

Hatfield Funeral Home, established in 1967, was the first funeral home in Sierra Vista. Courtesy Jeff Hatfield.

Bottom photo: boarded-up and vacant for many years. The building caught on fire early January 2013.

Anonymous comment on Frank's blog:

I am so happy to finally learn what this building was with all of the ghost stories I heard living in Sierra Vista. We just called it "The Morgue" with no clue to what it really was. Spent a few scary nights knocking three times on the door and then listening. Probably one of the scariest moments of my teenage years

International Border Between Agua Prieta, Mexico and Douglass, Arizona. Image taken mid 1920s. Border crossings 100 years ago were a different affair, with not much fanfare. Not so much today.
