Death Of Gilbert c. Brown.

Gilbert c. Brown, 81, died early Friday
morning in the home of his nephew,
George b. Williams, where he had lived
the past year. Mr.. Brown had been in
his usual health until about a week be-
fore his death, when he contracted a
sudden cold which he had not the vitality
to throw off, becoming gradually weaker
until the end.
MIR. Brown was the second son of Sam
uel and Gertrude (Glyde) Brown and
was born in this town Aug. 20, 1914.
When a young man he went to Boston
and learned the baking business, which
he conducted on his own account until
advancing years made it advisable for
him to retire. He married three times.
His first wife was Miss Zilpha Maynard
of Boston, to whom one son, George, was
born, who died last winter in his 10th
year. His second wife was Miss Louisa
Hovey of this town. one son was by
this marriage Rev. Charles III. Brown,
who died in Saxtons River about four
years ago and with who Mr.. and Mrs.
Brown had lived since retiring from bust
ness. He leaves his third wife, who was
Mary Jane Fay, whom he married in
April, 1859, a son, Gilbert c. Brown, of
Brookline, Mass, and a daughter, Mrs.
Emma Goulding of Conway, n. II. Mr..
and Mrs. Brown celebrated their golden
wedding anniversary in the home of their
daughter two years ago.
Mr.. Brown was the oldest living mem
Der of the First Baptist church of Bos-
ton. He was well versed in history, and
many an interesting story he could tell
of his early days. His CHEEKY words have
been an inspiration and help to many.
The other children of Clyde and Ger
trude Brown were Samuel g., who lived
to be 90 years old, Mary Ann, who mar
ried Charles Lamb and lived to be SO,
Gertrude, who was the wife of John w.
Williams and died in her SSth year, and
Susan. who was the first wife of Oscar
Lincoln and died in early life.
Prayer was offered in the home by
Rev. O. e. Newton ,1onday morning at
$50 o'clock and the body was taken to
Boston, where services were held Tues
day and the burial took place in Mt.
Hope cemetery. Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert c..
Brown of Brookline, who were with his
father the last days, went with the body
to Boston.

REPUBLICAN SENATE MAJORITY

PREVENT PROGRESSIVE
DEMOCRATIC Legs
I4ATIOS

WASHINGTON. ID. C., April L.
When the sixty second congress met
to-day, progressive leaders declared
that the little band Of fighting pro-
grcsstves in the senate had come into
their own at last--that five progress
siye senator's. standing together. could
control the destinies Of the congress.
And the senate progressiycs. with
Pundcxter, of Washington. and
Works. Of California, added 10 their
number, now boast twelve solid votes.
With Republic majority of nine,
five progressive Republican senator's
voting with the Democrats would turn
the balance Of power, making the vote
on any question forty-six to forty
Eve. Such men as La Toilette and
cummins. who under the ''oid order
were barely tolerated" by the lead
ers doomed up to-day a s great powers
in the upper house.
The regulars, however. answered
the arguments of progressives with
the prophecy that the Democrats viii
not he found voting soldly together.
and that the wide breach between
such men as bailey. Of Texas. and
owen. of oklahoma, will divide the
Democratic ranks in such way as to
wreck all calculations regarding 81
Democratic progressive Republican
combine.
