        FUNERAL OF PRIVATE BROWN
Friends and Comrades of North Platte Soldier Attend.

NORTH PLATTE, Neb., Sept. 19--(Special)--The funeral
services over the remains of Private Harry E. Brown,
company E, Second regiment, Nebraska volunteers, were
held in the opera house here today. Private Brown died
a few days ago in the Sternberg hospital at Chickamauga,
and his parents had his remains sent home for interment.
Nearly all of company E members were home on furlough
and assisted in the burial of their comrade. This
was the largest funeral ever held in North Platte. The
large opera house was packed full and the territory
and streets around the opera house were full of 
people who could not crowd into the hall. The services
were conducted by Rev. Mr. Beecher of the Episcopal
church. The body was escorted to the opera house and
from there to the cemetery by the Gordon cornet band,
company E, the members of the G. A. R., the Woman's
Relief corps, the Sons of the Veterans and the
Hamilton ladies cadets in uniform. The services at
the grave were simple and military, and were closed
by the sounding of "Taps" by company E.
   This is the second death in North Platte from the
war. The first was Private William Jeffers of the
Third regiment, who was buried here last week. 
Private Brown was one of four brothers enlisting in
the same company. The other three are home, the
youngest returning from the hospital at Chickamauga
Friday evening, not learning of his brother's fate
until he arrived home. Another member of company E,
Private Deats, is lying very low at his home in this
city. He is gradually and constantly getting weaker
and doctors say that his recovery is very doubtful.
