Beardsall Boarding House, Agua Fria Mining District, Stoddard, Arizona Territory, ca. June 1883. In the photo are Geo. Birdsall, Mrs Birdsall, Jennie Birdsall, Bertie (Thorne) Hudson, an unknown woman and baby.
The Beardsall boarding house was located in the town of Stoddard. It was named in honor of its founder, Issac T. Stoddard. At its’ peak, Stoddard had a population of 300. Among the town's buildings and housing was a Post Office that operated from 1882 until 1927.
The Copper Mountain smelter/furnace/mill serviced many of the local Agua Fria and Big Bug district mines in the area. Copper mining flourished until the demand for the metal declined after World War I ended. Stoddard’s post office closed in 1927, although the Stoddard Mine enjoyed a brief comeback from 1945 until 1950 after World War II.
