THE BROWN REUNION.
An Interesting Gathering Out at Beershsba
Last Wednesday.

An Interesting Gathering Out at Beershsba
Last Wednesday.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville ENQUIRER.
The seventy-eighth anniversary of
the birth of Mrs. Mary d. Brown was
celebrated by gathering of the fami'
ly at her home, near Beersheba, on
Wednesday last, the 2lst instant.
Sixty years ago she came to this
home, the girlish bride of Jackson
Brown, and has lived here continuous
" since. Her descendants now living,
are 7 children, A grandchildren and 20
great grandchildren. Of these, 81
were present to do honor to their ven.
Grated mother. There were present
also, two sons and two daughters-in-
law, and some 10 or IL of the neigh
bors.
Mr.. J. R. Schorb was on hand with
his camera and made two pictures =
one consisting of Mrs. Brown, sitting
like a patriarch of old, in the midst
of her children of three generations !;
the other picture was taken as the
whole company were assembled at the
dinner table-Mrs. Brown still being
the central figure. All who partook
of that table were of the opinion that
it was worthy of being immortalized in
picture. 1t was suggestive ofanything
else than preceding year of drought
and failure.
After dinner the company divided
in groups, according to age or special
congeniality, and discussed matters of
interest to themselves respectively.
Que of Mrs. Browns most positive
characteristics is regard for religion,
and this she has happily entailed upon
the family. The occasion was, there
fore, fttingly closed with religious ex'
ercises, conducted by her pastor.
These had reference chiefly to Gods
abundant goodness toward Mrs. Brown,
during her long and useful life. When
her strong convictions, with a de-
termined assertion of them, and the
number and character of her descend
ants are taken into consideration, it can
be safely said that no life spent in this
community has exerted greater in
fuence. She has not lived in vain,
but will leave "footprints on the sand
of time." H.
