MRS. ANNA -BROm, HAIUES POSTMASTER, DEAD,
Mrs. Anna Brown, the'popular and greatly beloved Postmaster,
of Haines, died last Saturday, December 12th. , at 9:30 A.to. , of
pneumonia. ' She' was ill only a few days and her sudden death was
altogether unexpected and very greatly deplored, as she was well
and favorably known to every man, woman and child in Haines and
Chilkoot Barracks, whom she has served as Postmistress for the
past two years.
Mrs. Brown was a loyal friend and neighbor and her kindly
deeds will long be remembered by the stricken community which she
served long and faithfully. Her place as Postmistress will be
hard to fill as she administered the duties of the Post Office
in an ever courteous, pleasant and obliging manner entirely free
of friction.
She is survived by two small children, Alberta and Buddy, her
father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Myers, two brothers and a
sister, Mrs Charles O.Ross, cf Vancouver Barracks, Washington.
Tthe funeral was held Tuesday at two o’clock from the Haines
Presbyterian Church, the Reverend E.E. Bromley officiating, and
her remains were laid to rest in the Post Cemetery.
The following were pall bearers: Sergeant Roger son, Sergeant
Barry, Corporal Lybrand, Corporal Hall, Corporal Orendorf and
Private Grieve, of Company "F".
The Chilkoot post extends heartfelt condolence to these
bereaved relatives in their hour of very great sorrow.
