OBITUARY: At the home of Mr. and Mrs. John E. Murphy, in North Salem, at 1 o’clock p.m. on Saturday, September 23, 1899, of spinal meningitis, Victor Hunt Brooks, aged two years, six months and three days, the eldest child of Mr. and Mrs. Edward A. Brooks, formerly of this city. Little Victor was born in the sea girt fastnesses of Cape Mears, on the rugged coast where his father was long stationed as assistant to Light-Keeper Hunt, the famous old mariner, after whom the child was named. In this circumscribed, yet happy and healthful environment, he grew into sturdy and charming babyhood, beloved of all, leaving there with his parents when they departed to their new post at the Turn-Point light station on Puget Sound, and from whence the family came, about ten days ago to this city, on what was intended to be the first, and happy home-coming of Mr. and Mrs. Brooks, since their marriage. Almost simultaneously with their arrival here, the dread malady attacked the little boy, and despite the unremitting efforts of devoted kinsmen and friends and the closest and most skillful of professional care, death intervened yesterday to end the untoward suffering of the child. Mr. and Mrs. Brooks possess the earnest sympathy of a large circle of relatives and friends in the Capital City, in this, their hour of great affliction. The funeral will take place this afternoon at 3 o’clock, from the First Baptist church, Rev. Ronald McKillop, the pastor, officiating, and interment will be had in the Odd Fellows’ cemetery. A funeral car will be in waiting at the corner of State and Liberty streets after the services for the accommodations of all who may desire to go to the graveside. All Neighbors in Woodcraft are respectfully invited to be present by Mr. Brooks, who is a member of Alder Camp No. 219 in Tillamook City.
