Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 71, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 March 1914 — Body of Harley Brown Will Not Go to Anatomical Board. [ARTICLE]

Body of Harley Brown Will Not Go to Anatomical Board.

T. W. Grant, after reading in The Republican that it was planed to send the body of parley Brown, the young man who fell from a train and died here last Saturday, to the state anatomical board at Bloomington, decided that he would do what he could to prevent this action and called up The Republican stating that he would provide burial place in a lot he owns at Weston cemetery and give $3 toward the burial expense. Suiting action to this decision he had a paper prepared and found many ready to help. Brown had serven an enlistment in the United States Marine Corps, and Mr. Grant said that he hoped never to see the body of a soldier receive anything but a ’decent burial.

Mr. Grant received subscriptions up to noon almost sufficient to guarantee the burial expense. This morning Undertaker Wright received a telephone message from Ladoga, Brown’s home, stating that some of his friends would come here from that city this afternoon and that they would probably arrange to have the body returned there for burial
