Not many days ago our people were shocked to hear that Dr. Chas. M. Buchanan, for a quarter of a century Superintendent atT ulalip, Wash., was dead. None of us had known of his illness until the news of his demise reached us. From meager reports to us it seems that the death was caused, indirectly per haps, by an ulcerated tooth. Perhaps blood poisonr ing. followed other complications. We have been told that the Doctor had gone to S e attlefo r medical; aid and that his death occurred while there. He .was a highly gifted man, a good companion, splendidly edu cated, and loyal to trust always. In his death his charges will have suffered a great loss and he will long be remembered by people of every walk of life, both in and out of the service. Peace to his ashes!
