HIGHLANDER is
KILLED AS CAR
|. SKIDSOFF ROAD
A. F. Brownell, Former u. p
Agent, Fatally Injured on
Highway Between Here and
Pr0sser; Funeral Friday

A. F. Brownell, 70, well-known
Kennewick resident, was instantly
killed yesterday afternoon when his
car skidded on the icy highway a
mile or so west of Benton City.
Mr.. Brownell had been visiting
his son Finch in Prosser, leaving
there alone for home about 1:30 in
the afternoon. He was driving a
car which he had just recently pur-
chased in Pasco and the former
owners name was found on the
certificate. Passing motorists, dis
covering the wreck notified the Pas
CO authorities, who went to the for
mer owners home to notify his wife
of the accident. Finding the man
present, further Investigations re-
vealed the identity of the victim.
Brownell. formerly local agent for
the Union Pacific, was placed on
the retired list two years ago, when
he purchased a fifteen-acre apple
orchard on the Highlands, where he
has since made his home.
He had been employed with rail-
road work all his life, starting with
a small company in the east at the
age of 10 years. Before coming to
Kennewick he had been agent in
Iowa and North and South Dakota,
coming from there to Salem, Ore
gon, in 1902 and to Washington in
1904. He held positions at Cakes
dale, Pennington, Garfield, Pull
man and Cheney before transferred
to Kennewick in 1927, retiring in
1888.
He was member of the Masonic
fraternity, being Past Master of that
order. He was also member OF
the local Eastern Star and held the
office of Worthy Patron in Kenne-
wick. The funeral, which will be
held from the Mueller parlors FRI
day afternoon at two o'clock, will
be under the auspices of the local
Masonic lodge.

for more dancing until the last
