Broken Bow, Neb., Jan. 20--(Special)--Funeral services were conducted here from the Schneringer funeral home, Thursday afternoon, for Edward J. McBride, 26 years old, who was found on the Pacific highway, 42 miles north of Redding,
Cal., on December 7, with a bullet wound to his temple. He is believed to have been murdered. When he was but two years old, the mother of McBride, Mrs. Herbert Baker, died, and he was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. John McBride, of
Brewster, and lived with them until some time in 1926, when he went to the Pacific coast, where he worked in a logging camp. Last September he was injured in the camp and placed in the hospital. On November 1, he made application to
enlist in the U.S. army, at the barracks at Vancouver, and was accepted the following day, but requested that he be allowed a little time to sell his motor cycle, which was granted. He wrote to Mrs. McBride, on November 3rd, stating
that he had enlisted and gave instructions regarding the distribution of some Christmas gifts to the other members of the family and nothing further was heard from him until they were informed by the authorities that he had been shot on December 7th. After he was found along the highway and placed in the hospital, he recovered consciousness and told the hospital authorities who he was and of his relatives, but was unable to tell of his whereabouts between November 3rd and the day of regaining consciousness. An operation was performed upon him early this month, but he died on January 13th in the hospital at Redding.
He is survived by his father, Herbert Baker, of Post Angeles, Wash., his foster mother, Mrs. John McBride, of Brewster, Neb.; one sister, Mrs. Lucy Blake, of Brewster, Neb., and one brother, O. H. McBride, of Brewster. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. P. M. Simms of the Broken Bow Presbyterian church and burial was made in the Broken Bow cemetery.
