L: is with sadness we ore called on to
record the above deaths Of esteemed neigh
bors and citizens. Bro, Blown and Mrs.
Brown were married June 10, l82l-liying
in harmony near ~ years, and raising q
large family. They both enjoyed usual
health until few days before their death.
Bro. Brown was on our streets on Saturday
proceeding his death. Mrs. Brown came
home from visit from her daughters three
or four days before her death. We never
knew OF husband and wife, in the absence
Of an epedemic, departing lie. as in this
case. On Monday. the 3Oh uit., the re-
mains OF the deceased were followed to tn cir
last resting place ON earth by the largest
procession Of relatives and friends we have
ever witnessed in McAlthur. The process.
ion moved from the residence Of the decea.
se4 to the ME- Church, preceded By Shockey's
Brass Band, and the Brethren OF Delta Lodge,
aud visiting Brethren. Bro. A. NJ. Alex
ander preached the funeral sermon, dwelling
in most eloquent. logical and heart stirring
remarks, on these words Mark the per
feet man, and behold the upright, for the
end Of that man is peace We sincerely
hope the text, and remarks of Bro. Alex
ander, may be treasured in the memory OF
all those who heard them, and more especi.
ally by the Brethren. A portion of the
Masonic ceremonies weIe then performed IN
the church, when after !akirg final leave Of
the deceased, the procession proceeded 10
the tomb, when Brother Browns re-
mains were deposited in due Masonic form,
and the remains Of Mrs Brown placed by
his side in the same tvmb, most mpressively
exemPlifying the ideas Of Ruth.
Whoreer, ard when thoE goest will go,
! Whoreer thou dweilest, that dwelling shall be
mine;
Thy God, shall be my God, and we shall lay,
rOg ether wrapped beneath the sileut tomb.
