The funeral was said to be the largest and most spectacular ever held in Klamath County, due to the fact that all ancient Indian ceremonies were revived for the burial. Laudatory addresses by various members of the tribes, punctuated the rites and paid tribute to Charlie's prowess in the Modoc War. The ancient funeral feasts were an outstanding part of the ceremonies. The aged Indian, believed to be nearly 90 years old, was buried in the Masenkasket Cemetery, with the Rev. M. Case officiating. _________________________________________________________________ Dont just search. Find. Check out the new MSN Search! http://search.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200636ave/direct/01/
