She was the widow of Alphonso BRUNEL. The notice says that the funeral was held from "the residence of her son, No. 17 Dow street." What I'm curious about is which son? Leander, Frederic, or Daniel? Can someone look up any Brunel(l) references in the 1893 Portland city directory? I'd also appreciate any DUROY and MALING references in same. Thanks much. N P Maling Seattle, King Co., Washington
