Abraham Zundel

I am interested in where you got your information of Abraham Zundel living in Thatcher Arizona, and what years he was suppose to have lived there. Abraham is my husbands Great Grandfather, and we own the home where he and Abigail lived up to their death. The house contained many letters, papers, stories, pictures ect. I can find no record of him ever living any where but Willard except for his missions. Please help me out with this I am very interested in what you have.
Thank You,
Sherry Zundel
