Throughout two world wars
Brother Ed's body was kept in
a wooden casket. Sometimes the
casket was propped against the
wall of the funeral home.
His body was brought to
Memphis by a surviving broth
er, Ezra Lee Cochran. Ezra Lee

Mother Refuses Child Transfusion
Portland (U.R) A hearing
into a mother's religious reasons
for not permitting a blood trans
fusion for her child was post
poned until next week by Mult
nomah County Circuit Judge
Donald E. Long yesterday. .
The hearing was called on
petition of Ralph William Cook,
who asked for a order to restrain
his ex-wife, Doreen Mae Cook,
from interfering with medical
treatment needed by their five
yearnold daughter, Sandra Rae.
Cook said the child needed to
have her tonsils and adenoids
removed, but the mother would
not permit a blood transfusion
if such treatment should become
necessary following the opera
tion. . .
He said Mrs. Cook was a mem
ber of , the Jehovah's Witnesses.
The Cook's have another daugh
ter, Linda Doreen, 4.
Caruthersville.'
"If it is true, we should go up
there and do something," Mrs.
Cochran said.
Several days ago, the Coch
rans got a ride to Caruthers
ville. "We told the man who we
were, and he took U3 to an open
box leaning against , the wall
like you see dolls in store win
dows," Mrs. Cochran said.
The body, covered and well
preserved, was returned here.
Curious View Remains
J. S. Edwards said flowers
had been sent to his Memphis
funeral- home from both whites
and Negroes who. . had heard
about Brother Ed's funeral. Ed-
wards said as many as 4,000
persons nave waiKea into ine
funeral home to view the body."
"Our telephone has been ring
ing off the hook," Edwards said.
'They want to know if it's really
true, about a man who died in
1917 and was still around."
Good Embalming Job
Edwards said the Missouri
funeral home did a good em
balming job, because all he had
to do was take care of minor
defects.
Ezra Lee said his brother
would have been 73 years old
had he lived. He died at 5.
"My wife was after me to
tend to it and I wanted to see
him be buried before I died,"
said Ezra Lee, 66. Td like to
have him put away right before
I pass on myself."
