REDMOND, John McKittrick
John McKittrick Redmond, a former Arizona Ranger, died last night (May 12, 1967) in St. Joseph's Hospital. He was 83. Mr. Redmond lived with his wife, Elise, at 506 W. Missouri and had served as an Arizona Ranger during the last year of its existence in 1908. He was once wounded during the running flight with a horse thief who was attempting to escape to Mexico. He was born in Ballston Spa, NY, Feb. 2, 1884, and was brought to the JH Ranch near Willcox in 1889 by his grandmother who was the mother of Capt. William McKittrick, owner of a large cattle ranch in the Sulphur Springs Valley near Ft. Grant. Mr. Redmond grew up on the ranch near Willcox and learned the ways of the cowboy and rancher. While there he met Harry Wheeler, later captain of the Rangers who induced him to enlist in the Rangers. The Arizona Rangers were organized in 1901 with headquarters in Bisbee. They were charged with controlling cattle and horse stealing border banditry and other criminal activities. The 1909 legislature disbanded the Rangers who work had been resented by some sheriffs and other peace officers. At one time, the Rangers had an authorized strength of 26 men but historians believe no more than 20 men ever served at one time. After the Rangers were disbanded, Mr. Redmond worked as a guard at the territorial prison which had been moved from Yuma to Florence in 1909. He later was Florence town marshal then secretary of the state prison. He enlisted in the Army as a private in World War I, served overseas and was discharged as a captain. He was assistant secretary of state in 1921-23 and during part of that period was acting governor. Later he worked for copper companies at Bisbee and Ajo and served two terms as Pima County supervisor. In the 1930s he was regional director of five states for the Federal Commodities Corp and later was principal grant supervisor of the Farm Security Administration. He later was a supply officer at Davis-Monthan, Marana, Williams and Luke Air bases, retiring when he was 70. 5/13/1967.
