Yuma County, Arizona Biographies: ALBERT E. DeCORSE, One of the most remembered of all of the figures of Yuma's history during the latter half of the 19th century is Dr. Albert DeCorse. He established the DeCorse name and its heritage in Yuma's history in the years proceeding 1868. Dr. Albert DeCorse set up his medical practice in Yuma in the early 1860s. He was married to a Yuma Indian Princess named Maria de Luce Diaz and it was a very happy marriage. Since Mrs. DeCorse could speak five languages and the Doctor could speak Spanish, French, English, and Indian, there fortunately were no language barriers to obstruct his work. Since a large percent of the wealth of the city was due to mining, DeCorse received mostly gold nuggets in payment for his doctoring fees. This dedicated family had six children, five boys and one girl. Dr. DeCorse died on June 1, 1891, at the age of 57.
