Many relatives and friends attended the funeral of William Brown, from the home of his parents, Mr. and Mi Brown in John street, ¥riday There were beautiful fioral tributes, including set pieces from the Westerly Branch of the Granite Cutters' Interna- tional union, and the Westerly Textile Athletie assoeiatis Up to the time of his tragic death, Brown was classed as a sober, steady and industrious young man, and what prompt- ed him to drink Jamaica ginger to ex- eess Is as surprising to his intimate friends as was his self-destruction, and the awful event connected therewith. He was never a drinking man and now there is belief that his sufferings in the world war tended to diminish his men- tality. The body of the young man was buried in the family plot at River Bend.
