A BROWN CoMkITs SUICIDE.
Business Man s4 Lee
Seetien Takes Lethal Doee.

Lake City, December 3l:-Mr An
son A Brown, one of the most widely
known and highly respected citizens
of this section, committed suicide
early this morning by taking about
two ounces of laudanum.
For several years he suffered from
chronic dyspepsia, which at times
made him very despondent, and it is
thought that in a moment of extreme
suffering and depression he took the
fatal dose. No one saw the rash
act and the first intimation Of any
thing unusual was when his heavy
breathing attracted the attention of
Mrs Brown, about midnight, after
which he lived about two hours.
His home, where he died, is at Leo.
He was about 60 years of age and
leaves his wife and three children:
one son, Mr. R A Brown, of this
place, and two daughters, Mrs ] E
Hemingway of Lambert and Miss
Elise Brown.
