Henry Harrison "Harry" McPhaul moved to Yuma around 1897 and became constable. He also served as a guard at the Yuma Territorial Prison; a deputy sheriff and Yuma town marshal. He was the only Yuma resident who ever became an Arizona Ranger. He spent many years prospecting for gold and silver on his land near the Dome Bridge on the Gila River near Yuma. The bridge was eventually officially renamed McPhaul Bridge in his honor; it was the longest suspension bridge in Arizona at 798 feet and remained in service until 1968. Source: Yuma Sun newspaper
