THOMAS BROWN JR. DEAD,
Dies at Nine O'clock Last Night With
Pneumonia.

Mr.. Thos. Brown, Jr died at his
home in Denison township on Friday
May ID, after a two weeks illness with
pneumonia. Funeral services will be
held at ST. Rose of Lima's church on
Sunday May 18th. at IL a. NJ, Rev.
NJ. j, Farrelly officiating
Mr.. Brown was born in Troy, N. Y.
in 1861. When four years of age he
moved with his parents to Illinois, and
when he was lad of sixteen the fam
lily moved to this county where they
have since resided. Mr.. Brown was
convert to the, Catholic faith, and he
was faithful tohis church and its teach
ings. On Oct, 1888, he was married to
Miss Maggie Hughes and to them We're
born four daughters and three sons, all
of whom survive their father.
The above is the outline of the life
lived by one of our most Industrious,
honest and capable young farmers. He
was tireless in his energy, strong and
steadfast in his affections Kindly in
his nature, upright and honest in his
| business, progressive in his ideas and
tender and true to those he loved. He
was perhaps the first man to introduce
the steam thresher into Crawford coun-
ty, Others thinking it impractical on &C
count of our hills. When he made a
success of the steam thresher, others
followed his example quickly.
Mr.. Brown was forehanded, constant
| ly improving his home surroundings
and doing all in his power to make
happy his aged father and the wifeEand
children who We're dependent on him.
His death while in the prime of life
and with so many dependent upon him
for love and care, is peculiarly sad and
, the stricken loved ones have our fullest
sympathy His example as a sturdy,
upright, Industrious, kind-hearted man
is one worthy of emulation. and it was
his own life and deeds that won for
: him the large circle of friends who now
} mourn his untimely death Our hearts
} go out to the loving wife, the little
children. and to the father whose later
life has been made happy in the sue
cess and happiness of his son.
