HAPPY CAMP
Two deaths saddened our little village this week. Both victims
were old residents of this section.
Mrs. Colonel Brooks, an aged Indian, died Wednesday evening at
her home at Ferry Point. Colonel Brooks, her husband, died about
two months ago. Mrs. Brooks was buried at the family burying plot
near Ferry Point. She was one of the oldest Indians in this
community and could remember when the first white men came to this
country.
Samuel S. Ferris died on Thursday morning. He had been ill for over a week, the end not coming without considerable suffering. He was past 75 years of age at the time of his death. For the past five years he has operated a soft drink establishment in Happy Camp. He was buried Friday at 2 o'clock. No living relatives are known to survive him.
