JULES CLERFAYT DIES AT NOVATO
Death cut short the career of a prominent man last Sunday when Jules Clerfayt, one of San Francisco’s leading railroad and steamship men, succumbed to an attack of appoplexy in the Novato Sanatorium.
Clerfayt had spent the day at his summer home in Novato and was at work about the place when he was stricken. He was removed immediately to the hospital, but despite the efforts of Dr. J. H. Kuser, Dr. O. W. Jones and Dr. Anthony, he died five hours later without regaining consciousness. His wife, a sister of Richard Miller, president of the Owl Drug Co., was with him when death came. The remains were removed to San Francisco and the funeral was held yesterday under the auspices of the French Masonic Lodge. Interment will probably take place in Belgium, Clerfayt’s native land.
