Major Richard J. Pye Dies Suddenly

Major Richard J. Pye died in Ross on Saturday, July 26th, aged 54 years.

Major Pye’s home was in San Mateo, and he came to Bon Air Hotel a week before his death for the benefit of his health, but was taken suddenly worse and physicians and skilled treatment failed to restore him.

The deceased was a native of Minnesota, a member of Santa Rosa Lodge, No. 35, I.O.O.F. and was an old parishioner of Rev. G. M. Cutting, who officiated at the funeral which took place on Monday at the Cypress Lawn Chapel, where the remains were incinerated.
