The remains were brought to Las Vegas for interment and the funeral held Friday afternoon at the Methodist church, Rev. Wm. H. ROGERS officiating. The services at the cemetery were conducted by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers under the beautiful ritual of the order and were very impressive. The deceased was born in California in the year 1866 and during the latter years of his life resided at Las Vegas, where he was employed as an engineer on the Las Vegas & Tonopah railroad. The only surviving members of the family in this city are his widow and one daughter, Norma (Mrs. George ULLOM). The death of Mr. BROCKMAN was not unexpected. Last June he was taken ill while on his run and was in a serious condition for several weeks. Gradually he became better, but his recovery was but partial. A few weeks ago he again began to fail and was obliged to take to his bed. As he continued to sink he was taken to Los Angeles in the hope that a lower altitude and change of climate might be beneficial, but in vain, death claiming the sufferer last Tuesday. The funeral was largely attended and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and the Ladies Auxiliary met at their hall and went to the funeral in a body. The floral offerings were many and unusually beautiful. The deceased was a good husband and father and a highly respected citizen, and the people of Las Vegas sincerely regret his passing.
