SOLDIER FINDS He Is
PALLBEARER TO BROTHER
Learns Identity When Chaplain
Reads Name During Funeral
Services in France.

One of the most pathetic instances
of the war, so far as America is con-
cerned, occurred in a little cemetery
to the rear of the Picardy front re-
Gently when an American soldier act
ing as q pallbearer at the funeral of
several American dead discovered his
own brother, Joseph Ash, among the
dead. The brothers, members of diff
ferent companies, had met only the
day before at the front. Joseph re-
mained there and was mortally
wounded that night, dying soon after
ward. His brother was ordered to
the rear lines with a. party of wood
choppers.
The woodchoppers were working
near the cemetery at the time of the
funeral and the chaplain asked them
to be pallbearers. In the midst of
the services the chaplain read the
name of Joseph Ash. The brother,
who stood with barred head in the
small group of soldier mourners,
reeled forward, his eyes filed with
tears, and he exclaimed, ''My brother
Oh, my brother"
The chaplain, not understanding,
stepped up and placed his arm around
the young mans shoulder, saying,
1--WE are all brothers, my boy" The
soldier looked at the coffin and shook
his head.
"The Germans will pay for your
blood, Joe," he said, and then it was
that the chaplain and the others
around him understood and they LED
him away.

city stands as monument of the
determined effort OF this young man
who conceived of the idea of making
new city for Oregon and who car
ried II out to a successful conclusion.
Mr.. Simpson nursed this city through
It's babyhood, guided 1t in it's grow
Ing youth and finally brought Il to
point where 1t could be turned over
10 itself and its people as one of the
most prosperous cities In Southern
Oregon.
In order to give North Bend its
start Mr.. Simpson gave much of his
own possessions for the public good.
He built dock 1850 feet long and
gave II as a city wharf He gave free
sites for factories in order that they
might be located In the new city.
He built residences for the new com
ers and gave almost unlimited cedit
to those who were trying to make a
start. Quite number of the most
successful business men on Coos Bay
who can today retire from active life
with sufficient means, made their
start by being aided by Mr.. Simpson
when establishing themselves In his
city.
The result was not one-man
town. Once the city was brought to
a self supporting basis, It was a sue
cess and today boasts of payroll
OF $150,000 a month.
Mr.. Simpson was the first mayor of
North Bend and held the office for
twelve consecutive years. He had
opposition at different times but no
one could ever defeat him. He only
resigned the office because he moved
10 his rural home, Shoreacres, which
was outside of the city limits and
which made II impossible to continue
as mayor OF the city.
During the eighteen years Mr..
Simpson resided on Coos Bay he was
manager OF the Simpson Lumber
Company most of the time and In
this capacity he transacted extensive
business and handled big matters.
The lumber operating interests of the
Simpson Company were sold several
years ago. but Mr.. Simpson acts as
president OF the Simpson Estate Com
pany with various holdings in South
western Oregon. Mr., Simpson has
been partner to the extent of help
The times-herald. [volume] (Burns, Harney County, Or.) 1896-1929, 1918-02-23

ing financially in almost every sue
cessful business enterprise In North
Bend and those with which he was
connected have done well He sub
scribed for minority stock In almost
every legitimate enterprise In order
to help build up the city.
These efforts on the part of Mr..
simpsons city building have been
crowned with the satisfaction OF see
Ing within a very few years North
Bend reach It's present prosperity.
The making OF North Bend Is prob
ably the source OF more pride to Mr..
Simpson than any OF his other sue
cessful achievements.
In laying out the city of North
Bend Mr.. Simpson reserved 81 acres
of land overlooking the bay as a pub
lie park and together with the other
Simpson heirs presented this In fee
simple TO the city on the occasion
of the jubilee held to celebrate the
opening of the railroad to Coos Bay.
And the efforts OF Mr.. Simpson pro-
badly had more TO do with the bring
ing of the railroad to Coos Bay than
the work of any other one man In the
community affected.
Mr. Simpson was elected one OF
the commissioners OF the Port of
Coos Bay after that body was formed
and was chosen for the place be-
cause of his familiarity with the ship
ping of the port He was one of the
Coos Bay men who went up to the
National capital to secure aid for the
Improvement of the Coos Bay bar.
These facts as to Mr.. Simpsons
success In his own part OF the state
are In a sense perhaps only OF local
interest but they show that he is
man who was able to cope with the
early difficulties OF Oregon. who sue
ceeded In what he undertook to the
extent that his ability Is recognized
In the state and that he is a man
who has had the practical training
to be a governor of the State.

l.. j. Simpson was born Sept. T.,
1877, at Oakland, Cal, and Ia the
son of the late Capt. A. NJ. Simpson,
the pioneer lumberman. The fact
that his father was big operator
on the coast gave him the advantage
of learning the lumber business but
he did not learn II without real work
and hard knocks. Mr.. Simpson at

tary Academy and entered the Uni
versity of California but did not
finish the course there.
In 1895. when Is years of age,
Mr.. Simpson took job as office boy
for the Simpson Lumber Company
at Il salary of $40 a month Then
he went to Grays Harbor where his
father owned mill and worked as
common laborer and In the ship
ping department. In 1899, after be-
ing married he came to Coos Bay
and worked in the ship yard for
$3.50 day. Later John Kruse who
was at the head of the Simpson in
terests on Cos Bay went to San Fran
cisco and l.. ]. Simpson was put In
charge of the local business. There
was a saw mill cutting $4,000 feet
of lumber a day In ship yard. This
plant was located at what Is known
as Old Town of North Bend
At that time transportation be-

means of travel. MIR. Simpson con-
