TWO WITHOUT KIN
BURIED AT BROCKETT

Two young men were buried at
Brockett Sunday by friends. neither
having a near relative present. The
men were complete strangers to each
other yet the manner of their deaths
and burial was of sufficient similarity
to form a most unusual coincidence.
Both died of tuberculosis. after long
illness, they were near the same age,
and they were laid to rest in graves so
close together that it was necessary
for the choir to only turn around from
singing for one. funeral to sing for
the other. Funeral services for both
men were conducted by the Rev. Mr..
McEwen, pastor of the Pocahontas
Baptist church.
The first funeral was that Of Robert
T. Mcclellan an eX-service man, who
died at Fort Byard. New Mexico. In a
government hospital from tuberculosis
contracted In the service. He was
without relatives, his parents having
died several years ago. The services
were conducted under the management
of Joe $. Decker, commander Of this
post OF the American Legion, assisted
by number Of other ex-service men.
Two splendid talk' on the character
of the boy ard the great cause for
which he gave his life were made by
NJ. ID. Bowers and ii. +. Run, ex-ser-
vice men.
The other service was conducted
over the remains of Hollie Bogard
who recently came to this county from
Illinois. He died at the home of his
father-in-law. where his wife now lies

which carried him away. About twenty
