IN MEMORIAM

Sunday afternoon all that was
mortal of DR.. George Fl. Brown, bS
loving hands aud aching hearts was
tenderly laid away In peaceful Elm
wood. Almost from the birth OF
Chanute he has been a pTomlnen'
citizen among us. No more kind or
generous heart ever beat In the
breast of man than DR.. Browns Nj
appeal of the distressed or needy ever
reached him unheeded.
No nit hit WIS ever too dark or
stormy for him to ride for the relief
of the suffering. He never questioned
their ability 10 pay. 1t was enough
for him to know that some cne was
suffering. He freely gave of his sub
stance to his own impoveri shment, to
relieve the suffering of others. he
never asked why, it was enough for
him to know that help was needed.
He had suffered for years with an In
durable disease aud knew that the
end approached yet always main
tained a cheerful disposition.
Or. Brown was the known friend
of every body and had not an enemy
in the world.
His funeral was the largest ever
seen In Chanute. Everybody seemed
anxious to pay this last tribute of re-
spect to their departed friend. The
floral offerings we're lavish aud
beautiful.
Never before have we seen such
di> play OF foral emblems at a funeral
DR.. Brown was known TO be passion
ateIy fond OF flowers and nc more
appropriate Offering could have beer
made.
We will see our old family physi
clan In this life no more but will
ever cherish his memory and strive
to meet him on that other shor'
where he waits to greet us.
