I have found what I was looking for. I will post it here in case any one else might be looking for the information:

DEATH FINALLY CLAIMS YOUNG MONESSEN MAN

LEON BOSTEDOR DIES IN ARIZONA LEAVING
BRIDE OF 11 MONTHS. REMAINS INTERRED
BUT WILL BE BROUGH BACK.

Word was received yesterday of the death of
Leon Bostedor, a well known young man of this
place at Tucson, Arizona, where in company
with his father-in-law, Peter Robinson, he
had gone about two months ago for the benefit
of his health. Death was due to consumption.
The dead man was 21 years of age.

In June of last year he was married to Miss
Mabel Robinson, a graduate from last year's
class of the High School. Shortly after the
marriage he was pronounced by his physician
to be suffering with consumption and finally
was taken by his father-in-law to Tucson,
Arizona. His young wife followed later and
both were present when death came Monday night.

The dead man came to Monessen a number of years
ago and until his going West, was employed at
the Page mill. He was highly respected among
a large circle of friends and in his death
which is a sad one his young wife has the
sympathy of a host of friends. Besides his
wife he is survived by his parents, two sisters
and three brothers. They are Bessie, Lloyd,
Pearl, Clare and Williard (sic). With the
exception of Lloyd, all reside in Grasslake,
Michigan. The latter came to Monessen in
company with his brother and was recently
married to a sister of the dead man's wife.
According to the letter received here the
remains were interred in Tucson, but Lloyd
Bostedor left this morning for Grasslake to
make arrangements for having the body brought
home.
