which included the early history Of
the congregation, as he was born
and reared in the community and
knew most OF it's history from obser.
walton and association for hall of the
time OF it's existence.
Judge Brown was a man Of rare
culture and intelligence, Of vigorous
bodily health and active. Industrious
habits. He removed from Rushville
to Butler, Mo, about 3S years ago
aid had held the office of Probate
Judge and other positions OF trust
and responsibility there. The news
Of his death will I've received with
deep regret at his western home, as
be was greatly admired and highly
esteemed.
