McInnis of Oakland, California, and an older brother, L. R. Demson, a machinist in the railroad shops here, and all attended the funeral at Ogden.  The unfortunate young man was a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fireman, the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the Maccabees, and respected in all his callings.  The funeral will be held from the Episcopal church at Ogden today (Saturday), and interment will be in the Mountain View Cemetery.  A large number of friends from Evanston left to attend the services.  The Wyoming Press Saturday, March 16, 1907
