Young Man Dies Suddenly.

Ray c. Brown, son of Mrs. Char
lotte Brown of Heppner, died at the
home of his brother, Roy E. Brown,
Il miles south of Heppner on Satur-
day, November II, 1917. For a num-
ber of years Ray had been afflicted
with epileptic fits and had always
been in the constant care of his moth
er, who would seldom leave him out
of her sight or care. Mrs. Brown
happened at this time to be in Hepp-
ner and Ray was allowed to go out
by himself for a short time, during
which he was attacked by a fit and
fell, seemingly having smothered to
death in the dust Of the garden. He
had been dead but short time when
discovered.
Deceased was 81 years and 3
months of age. He was born in Nor
row county on August II, 1895. For
the past nine years he had been a
faithful member of the Christian
church and his funeral was conduct
ed from that church in Heppner on
Monday forenoon, Turner B. Mac
Donald, the pastor, conducting the
services, and the remains we're placed
to rest in the cemetery on Rhea
creek near the Jas. Hayes place,
where other members of his family
lie buried.
He leaves an aged mother, six SIS
ters: Mrs. Ed Driscoll and Mrs. Wal
ter Davis of st. Maries, Idaho, Mrs
l.. L. Hiatt, and Dora, Arwilda and
Freda, and five brothers: Edward
Artie, Roy, Ross and John, all of
Heppner.
