How to get correct indentation for function with no return type in emacs?

I am using C++ mode to write some code.
I found that for some function without a return type, the indentation is wrongly done (indented to start of line). One frequent case is the constructor for class type, e.g. 

 class Person {
 public:
 Person(const std::string &s): name(s) { }
 Person(const std::string &s0, const std::string &s1): name(s0), address(s1) { }

 private:
   std::string name = "Default_Name";
   std::string address = "Default_Addr";
 }

The colon before initializer list may also be a cause.

Question:
Is there away to fix this?

The formatting for comments is not very good so I'm answering here:

Yeah, I've been bitten by that before, too. Best solution depends on whether you think you will be writing a lot of C code,too. If you will be, then you can name your C++ headers with ".hh" at the end, so Emacs knows.

Or, you can set a file local variable that sets the mode: file local variables

Or, if you will not be writing a lot of C code, you can modify auto-mode-alist in your .emacs so that .h defaults to c++ mode:

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.h\\'" . c++-mode))
