92ROBERT F. BROWN DIES
IN BOISE HOSPITALRobert F. Brown, son of Mr. And Mrs. J. F. Brown, passed away in St. Alphonsus hospital, Boise, July 22, 1932 following an operation for a bruise of the liver, after an illness of three weeks.
Mr. Brown, who was a government packer, was on one of his trips when he was taken ill. Members of his party immediately made a stretcher, which was mounted between two mules, and started for McCall, it taking two days to make the trip. He was taken from there to Boise where he at once entered the hospital. After an examination it was decided that an operation was necessary, which was performed. A slight split was found in the liver, which had evidently been bruised in some manner, but the exact way in which the accident happened will never be known.
Just prior to his passing he was visited by his brother, E. R. Brown, and he expressed to him that he was feeling much improved and had spoken of what the two of them would do when he was again well.
Robert F. Brown was born at Ash Grove, Mo., May 26, 1882. He came to Pullman, Wash., with his parents, arriving there March 8, 1889. The family moved from Pullman to Kendrick in November 1892, where they have since made their home and while Robert had spent much time in various places, he made Kendrick his home. He spent some time here last fall and winter and again last May, going from here to McCall, where he secured a contract with the government packing supplies into the forest, and it was on one of these trips that he was stricken.
Deceased leaves to mourn their loss his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Brown, Kendrick; three brothers – E. R. Brown of McCall, Idaho; Carl V. and William D. Brown of Eureka. Calif.; and four sisters – Mrs. C. J. Jones of Everett, Wash.; Mrs. C H. Cole of Dunsmuir, Calif.; Mrs. Ethel Stone of Sacramento, Calif.; and Mrs. Rosebud Benson of Eagle Creek, Oregon.
Members of the family attending the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Brown and children of McCall; Carl V. Brown and children of Eureka, Calif.; Wm. D. Brown of Eureka, Calif.; and Mrs. C. G Jones of Everett, Wash. Also an uncle, W. D. Woodward, of Moscow.
The body was brought to Kendrick, arriving Monday morning. Funeral services were held from the Community church Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock with the Rev. Edward j. smith conducting the services. Internment was made in the local cemetery.
The pallbearers were Geo. P. Barnum, C. G. Compton, M. O. Raby, F. W. Ellis, John L. Woody and Silvie Cook
