OBITUARY.
BROWN.

BROWN.
Sarah Louise Chaplin, daughter of
Erie and Chloe Root Chaplin, was born
in jefferson county. New York, jan
uary "a, 1885,
She was educated in the public schools
and an Academy at Evans Mills near
the place of her nativity. October 9Th
1856, she was united in marriage to
Lewis R. Brown. In 1859 this young
couple responded to ''the call of the
west" and came to Orleans township,
Winneshiek county, where they estab-
lished home in a log cabin.
The trip from Milwaukee was made
in lumber wagon which contained all
their worldly possessions. In common
with other pioneers of this new country
they endured many privations and suf-
fered many hardships. By dint Of. hard
work, the strictest economy and rare
good sense they prospered and became
important members Of the community.
By reason of the failing health of her
husband the home in Orleans, which
represented so much toll, self-sacrifice,
and prosperity and with which so many
associations and memories were bound
up, was left for home at Bentonville,
Arkansas.
Failing in getting the health benefits
anticipated from the climate of the
south, the family home was transfer
red to Creston, Iowa, where in Deem
Der of 1899 the husband died.
In 1900 Mrs. Brown established her
home in Cresco and continued to live
here until the fall of 1913, when she
went to live with her daughter. She
was woman of marked intelligence
, and rare personal qualities. Kind heart
ed and sympathetic, she made and kept
friends easily not only among those OF
her own age but with those of all ages.
She retained mental vigor and the
spirit Of youth to the last and kept in
touch with the life of the day. She
was good Christian and member of
the Congregational church at Marion
at the time of her death. Her last ILL
ness was of short duration and the end
came peacefully at nine O'Clock on the
morning of the 10th inst. at the home
of her daughter at Marion, Iowa. Her
many friends honor her and her chill
dren rise up and call her blessed.
Her children are Henry c. of this
community and Mrs. Susie B. Barrett
of Marion, Iowa.
Funeral services conducted by Rev.
Gammons were held from the Congre
gational church Monday afternoon at 2
o'clock and burial in was in Oak Lawn.
