Funeral services for Ralph Arthur Meyers, 39 years old, chief gunner's mate on the U.S.S. Beaver who died at Coco Solo, Canal Zone, on March 2 were held here yesterday at the Crown Hill Chapel. Burial was in Crown Hill.
According to dispatches received here, Meyer's death was due to strangulation caused, they believe, when he was doing duty in a diving suit. He had two medals for bravery gained during twenty years of service in the Navy. He last visited Indianapolis in 1920, spending a thirty-day furlough here. The funeral services were in charge of Logan Lodge No. 575, F&AM, of which he was a member. A detachment of soldiers from Fort Harrison fired a volley over the grave after the rites had been said.
Three sisters, Mrs. Gertrude Cox, Mrs. Hazel LoRash, and Mrs. Lucy Branaman, and two brothers, Carl and August, all of Indianapolis, survive.
Note: Coco Solo was a United States Navy submarine base and naval air station, active from 1918 to the 1960s.
