Chemawa Indian School yesterday ater

only relative to follow the remains to the
last resting place was Miss Bertha Brown,
a sister of deceased. The funeral was at

number of Salem people, who had known
and loved the young newspaper man,
were in attendance. Rev.W. Drew, of Will
amette Unyersity conducted the funeral
according to the simple but impressive
ritual of the Methodist Episcopal church,
of which deceased was a devout and con

chapel, during which the remains where
lying in state in the hall, the funeral pro
cession was formed and proceded to the Che
mawa cemetery the casket covered with a
wealth of floral pieces, being carried by a
detail of the older student of the institution
in the school uniform. As the westering
sun cast its last rays through the tree tops,
and the gentle sea breeze stirred the tall
firs, all that was left of the popular young
Indian, whose life work was ended, was
tenderly placed in the cold ground, and
the mound heaped upon the casket covered
with beautiful and fragrant flowers. The
funeral was a mogt impressive one, and
it was a sad crowd that wended its way
back to the school from the cemetery.
The expressions of genuine sorrow at
the untimely demise of Mr. Brown were
many, especially among the students of
the school to whom he had been a kind,
loving and helpful friend.
