GANTY & FRANDSON
A FUNERAL PYRE FOR KIONARA
The ceremony of cremating the body of the young Jap
anese Kiohara took place this afternoon on the cemetery
grounds, The body was taken to the place early this morn
ing. A couple of Japanese boys were sent out yesterday
and reported to the elders last evening that all was in readi
'ness but upon the arrival of the funeral party this morning
at G o'clock it was found that the very important essential
of wood had been overlooked. So it became necessary to
enlist the services of the Alaska Transfer company to haul
a cord of wood which had to be purchased from the rail,
road company. It was therefore not until afternoon that
all was in readiness.
A trench was dug in the ground over which logs were
piled to the height of two or three feet. On this a rough
box containing the body was placed. Over it was piled
spruce branches completely covering the whole. On this
sand and earth was heaped. Two candles were lighted and
set one 011 each side the pyre and these protected from the
wind by news papers. The fire was then kindled. The
trench beneath served for a draught and in a minute smoke
was pouring out of one end and the roar of the fire indi
cated that the work of incineration had begun. There had
been a little ceremony upon arrival upon the ground in the
early morning of the funeral party but it was unintelligible
to others.
Rev. Mr. Good, Funeral Director Harrison and Ben
Culberson, the latter as the principal agent in landing the
fuel on the ground, were the only persons present aside
from the countrymen of the deceased, as, although a lively
interest in the ceremony was manifest in town, the distance
to the cemetery and the uncertainty as to the time of the
ceremony, deterred others from attending. The friends of
the deceased had expected to complete the business early in
the morning in order to avoid the curious and the general
impression was abroad that this had been accomplished.
