time, died June 9th. He was confined to his

and fortitude Through all his sickness he
was ten,lerly cared for by a loving and de-
voted wife, with whom he has travelled
through the journey of life for the past fifty
years. The funeral services We're held in the
church near his old home Sunday, the 18th.

more eloquently of the esteem of his friends
and neighbors than words can. Elder Brack
EFT, of Jackson, delivered a good and instruc
tive sermon. Mr.. Brown was about seven
ty-one years old. He leaves a wife, three
children and many friends to mourn their
