ON this date in 1911 - The first old-age home for pioneers opened in Prescott, AZ.
Local proprietors, Bun Man an Mr. Purple, set the bar high for admittance.
Seems a pioneer had to prove he was one and when these 'civilized' old-age roughnecks came to enter, the Boyz said they couldn't be pioneers due to being civilized.
One of the rejects said they should call the place Hotel Arizona...
