near Danville, o., Oct. %, 1910, at
MONDAY, after God had given him SO
years, months and - days of earthly
existence
He grew to manhood on the farm,
learning the lessons of right living
from careful father and mother. VIC
would not say that he was without
fault. Only One has walked blame
lessly, earths pathway. The test of
character is alliction, and exemplifed
i'm this brave man the "Fruits of the
Spirit"-love, peace, gentleness faith,
patience and long suffering.
On January II, 1876, he was married
to Miss Susan E. Duckwall, of Dam
vile Here they have established
their home and have spent many
peaceful years To them were given
two sons, Richard and Wheatley, both
happily situated in homes of their
own.
For number of years, in addition
to farming, Mr.. Brown has been in
the poultry business, making phe.
nominal success of his work. His
name Is known in many states and his
articles upon poultry culture are
are sought and published by all lead
ing agricultural papers.
! He was happy i'm his work. never
boastful, but quiet and unassuming,
yet eager to be the best in his chosen
line.
/ He was identified with the NJ. Il.
Church Of Ddnvile and was one of its
ablest supporters. During all his
illness he spoke constantly Of the sus.
tanning power of God and Of the COM
fort Of prayer. For three years he had
endured great bodily pain and for
months has truly been waiting by
the gate"
/ Only to the devoted wife and loved
ones who have so faithfully ministered
TO him can the agony Of long nights
of misery and the days of weariness be
understood. Yet the Heavenly Father
knew and pitied His child.
So let us be comforted. Changed
is the mantle of suffering for the robe
of glory; the chaplet of care for the
crown OF peace; the sceptre Of unrest
for the harp Of joy. And we know
that i'm realms of bliss the song will
be:
JOY JOY the work Is done
The gates are passed and Heaven is won
Waiting on this side are the wife.

sisters and three brothers

THE FAMILY.
My life is wearisome Journey
I'm sick with the dust ana heat,
The rays of sun beat upon me,
The briars are hurting my feet
But the city to which am travelling
win more than my trl lis repay,
All the tolls ofthe road will seem nothing
when get to the end of the way.
There are so many hills to climb upward
That often am longing 10 rest,
But He who appoints me my pathway
Knows just what is needful and best
| know in His word He has promised
That my strength shall be as my day"
And the tolls OF the road will seem nothing
When l get to the end of the way.
when the last feeble steps have been taken
And the gates of the city appear.
And the beautiful song OF the angels
Float out on my listening ear.
Then, all that seems so mysterious
VIII be plain ana clear as the day,
Yes, the toll of the road will seem nothing
when get to the end OF the way.
Cooling fountains are there for the thirsty.
There are cordials for those who are faint
There are robes that are whittier and purer
Than any that fancy can paint.
Then, III try to press hopefully ownwark,
Thinking often, thr, ugh each weary day,
The tolls OF the road will seem nothing
When get to the end of the way"
