WIDOW OF DEAN DIES AT HOME

Mrs. Catherine Cochran Was Mother of Pacific Mutual President

Mrs. Catherine Lynch Cochran, 90 years of age, widow of the late Dr. George Cochran, formerly dean of the faculty of arts of the University of Southern California, passed away at her home in this city yesterday morning. She was the mother of George I. Cochran, president of the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company and of Mrs. C. I. D. Moore of Los Angeles.

Mrs. Cochran was born in Canada of Scotch-English stock, and was a direct descendant of the family of Susannah Wesley, the mother of the founder of Methodism. In her early married years, she shared with Dr. Cochran a busy life in the pastorate of the Methodist church during which time her husband filled several of the leading pulpits in Canada, including the Metropolitan Church in Toronto, of which he was the first pastor.

Mrs. Cochran accompanied Dr. Cochran, their children and a small band of missionaries to Japan in 1872, where Dr. Cochran assisted in laying the foundations of the present Methodist Church of Japan. Mrs. Cochran resided in Japan, except for a period of furlough until 1890, when she came to Los Angeles, where her son was then practicing law. From that year until her death, she made her home in this city.

Funeral services in charge of Bresee Brothers, will be conducted tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock from the home of Mrs. Moore, 2242 South Hobart Boulevard. Burial will be at Rosedale Cemetery.
