Word was received today by Mrs. Daniel O'Neil, of Rose Farm, Oregon City, of the sudden death of her nephew, Charles Alan
Holmes, a Pekin, China, from pneumonia.

Charles Alan Holmes was born at the Custom House, Mary's Island, Sitka, Alaska, in 1893, and was the son of the late Edward
Holmes. A year ago last September he enlisted in the Navy. He attended the Mount Pleasant school in this city, and later took a
course in the Oregon City High School, graduating about a year ago.

He is survived by his mother, one sister, Mrs. Fred Martin, of Spokane, Wash.; a brother, William Holmes, of Montana; and an
aunt, Mrs. Daniel O'Neil, of Oregon City.
