One by one the unfortunate victims of the 'Clallam' disaster are being claimed by friends and
relatives. Yesterday the Fraternal Order of Eagles of Victoria, received the sad intelligence
that one of the bodies recovered and taken to Port Townsend was there identified by his Eagle
membership card, as George Hudson, a member of the Victoria Aerie, No. 12. As the officers
of the above order know nothing of any surviving relatives of the deceased, instructions were at
once given by Frank LeRoy, the local secretary for the return of the remains to Victoria where
they will be tenderly placed in the silent tomb by brother Eagles of this city should no relatives
come forward to claim the body. Eagles are requested to look for notice of funeral in due time.
A reply was also received by Joseph Wachter, president of the F.O.E., from Little Rock, Ark., saying that the address of the relative of Guy Daniels, last with the 'Clallam' was unknown to the Eagles of which Daniels was a respected member, and they requested local Eagles to bury his remains here should the body be recovered. Nothing has been heard from the Kansas City Aerie, of which A.K. Prince was a member. |
