DIR. z. N. Brown.

DIR. z. X. Brown died at Mercy
Hospital in Duluth. Minnesota, on
Friday the 2nd day of February, and
his remains were brought to Morgan
town for interment, reaching the place
of destination Monday morning by
the $3.50 train.
The interment took place in the
afternoon from the residence of his
father Hon. John j. Brown in South
Morgantown. He was laid to rest in
the family plat, in Oak Grove Gene
terry, his funeral being attended by
many sorrowing friends and relatives.
DR.. Brown was born at Kingwood,
West Virginia, but his parents re-
moved from that place to Morgantown
while he was an infant, so that he is
regarded as one of Morgantown's sons.
He was educated ia the schools of
Morgantown. First having complet-
ed course in the High School. he
entered the West Virginia State Uni
yersitY from which he graduated with
honors in 1882.
He then began the study of medi-
cine and graduated from Jefferson
Medical College, Philadelphia, Penna.,
IN 1888. Shortly after graduation
from the Medical College he entered
upon the practice of his profession.
He formed partnership with
Dr. d. II. Courtney for the practice
of medicine in 1889, and the firm of
Courtney & Brown was widely and
favorably known during the period OF
its continuance. DIR. Courtney hay
ing met with unusual good luck in the
oil field concluded to quit the practice
of his profession which had become
onerous and DIR. Brown determined to
seek wider and more congenial field
for his labors. He accordingly went
West and located at Virginia City, in
Minnesota. He praeticed his profess
sion with great success until he was
stricken down.
Dr. Brown died Of a complication
of diseases but suffered from abscess
of the liver To which is attributed the
cause of his death. Though his i'll
ness had been known for some time
prior TO his death, here at Morgan
town, yet his death was unexpected
and his friends here were shocked at
the news. He had submitted to
preliminary operation, some time
since, which proved successful and
satisfactory, and his friends had hopes
for his recovery. 1t became necessary
to perform another operation and he
went to the Hospital at Duluth for
that purpose only a short time before
his death. He was unable to stand
the shock Of second operation and
he sank rapidly until death relieved
his sufferings.
DIR. Brown was in the prime of life
flushed with success-in achievement
Of reputation and an honorable life
He was Of kindly disposition.
His genial and pleasant manners won
him friends wherever he went. He
had splendid physique and COM
manding appearance and was admired
and loved by host of acquaintance.
He was generous to fault. He gave
literally to all such objects as met
his approval and seldom turned away
those who solicited.
His smiles and his greetings are
remembered by many old acquaintan-
ces in and around the scenes of his
youthful days and a tinge of sorrow
touched their hearts when they heard
of his death.
In 1892 DR.. Brown married Miss
Lena, daughter of d. L. and Mrs.
Donley of Mt. Morris, Penna., and a
wife and three children survive him.
A father well stricken in years,
mother, two brothers and sister also
mourn his loss. 1t is sad that one so
full of hope and promise, in the very
vigor of manhood. and rapidly achiev-
ing eminence and success should be
thus stricksd down but truly 'death
loves shining mark"
