Remains to De Taken to Michigan for
Interment-His Active Public
Career.

Mark 8. Brewer, a member of the civil
service commission, died at his home, 1919

his health had not been good for two
years, his condition was not believed to be
serious till ten days ago. He appeared to
improve, and on Saturday, March 0, he
went to his office in the building occupied
by the commission, remaining there for
some time and chatting pleasantly with
friends and official associates. After leav-
ing the office and returning to his home
his physician directed him to retire. He
grew steadily worse and did not again
leave his chamber. Hope for his recovery
was abandoned yesterday afternoon. Death
