Brown, 67, in Modesto Irrigation District lateral No. 3 yesterday afternoon nearly 10 hours after his wife reported him missing. The police said Mrs. Brown, 1423 Tully Road, reported her husband, ailing and despondent, missing when she arose about 7:45 AM yesterday. After a patrol of the area, officers located a boy who remembered seeing a hat - similar to Brown's - lying near a canal drop, off Briggsmore between Tully and Carver Roads. The body of the longtime Modesto resident was discovered shortly after 5 o'clock by a dragging team. Investigators said there was no indication whether Brown fell or jumped to his death by drowning. The dead man's brother, James W. Brown, told officers the retired lumber yard worker had talked once of jumping from a bridge. Brown was a brother also of Amy B. Kohner and Adele B. Coffman, both Modesto, Roy L. Brown of Tracy, San Joaquin County, and Claribel Girdner of Essex, San Bernardino County. He also leaves three nephews and three nieces. He was a native of Tennessee. Funeral services will be conducted tomorrow at the Franklin & Downs Funeral Home at l:30 PM. Committal will be in the family plot.

Caudle died peacefully in his home on Oct. 23, 2001, after a long illness. Born May 24, 1927, in Modesto, he was 74. He was a public accountant and successful businessman in Sacramento. He owned the Yolo Club in West Sacramento from 1974 to 1987. He was also a member in good standing of the Washington Lodge of the Free and Accepted Masons of California. He was a longtime resident of El Macero, where, as an avid golfer, the only thing he enjoyed more than spending time on the links was being with his family and friends. He was a man of dignity, honor, strength and love. He will be sorely missed by those whose lives he graced. He is survived by his wife Arlene, son David and daughter-in-law Kathy of Columbus, Ohio, son Warren and daughter-in-law Cami of Hercules, daughter Lenore of Sacramento, and sisters Elaine Haskin and Martha Schlander of Modesto. He will be missed by many more friends and family. Friends are invited to attend a memorial service at 11 a.m. Friday at El Macero Country Club. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Yolo Hospice. (Obituary from the "The Davis Enterprise," October 25, 2001, (Yolo County).
