Hundreds At Braman Funeral

The largest crowd that ever attended a funeral in Rosalia turned out yesterday 
afternoon to pay final tribute to Sidney Braman, World War hero, whose body 
arrived at that place yesterday morning from overseas.

Not half the persons who went to the Methodist Church to pay homage to Mr. 
Braman could get into the structure. Hundreds stood with uncovered heads about 
the church yard. The services at the church were in charge of the Odd Fellows. 
Rev. W. E. Freeman, pastor of the Methodist Church at Leon, preached the sermon.

At the close of the services at the church, the Edgar Dale Post of the American 
Legion took charge of the funeral. The ceremony was the most impressive that 
has marked a military funeral held in Butler County since the close of the war.

D. G. Rixey, commander, was chaplain. C. A. Rennie was in charge of the firing 
squad; Otto Daniels and Will Revo were color bearers, while Dale Osmer and 
Russell Wolfe were color guards. Burial was in the Blankinship Cemetery.
