ATTORNEY |. A. BROWN
DIES In CALIFORNIA

A message was received at
Froid Monday, February 6, bring
ing news of the death of Leonard
A. Brown at San Fernando, Calf,
on that day. Mr.. Browns many
friends in this city and all other
parts of the county will feel keen
grief that the end has finally
come for a man who stood so high
in their esteem. Mr.. Brown prac-
ticed law at Froid and in 1922 was
elected county attorney of Roose-
welt county and moved to Poplar
but lost his health before his
term expired. Few are fated to
pass through the ordeal of sick
ness and suffering that fell to Mr..
Brown.
He was an exceptionally high
type of man endowed with the
qualities of character that won
and held the love and friendship
of those who were fortunate
enough to know him. The deep
est sympathy of this community
goes out to Mrs. Brown and the
little son.
The Froid Tribune publishes the
sketch of Mr.. Brown reprinted
below:
WORD was received here Mon
dav nv DR.. Darland, announcing
the death of Leonard A. Brown
which occurred at San Fernando,
Cal, on Monday of this week.
CAS- everyone knows, MI. Brown
has been a sufferer for the past
four years or more from tubercu-
losis of the bone, and no hopes
have been entertained for his re-
covery much of that period OF
time. He had submitted to a re
cent operation in which one limb
was removed with the hopes OF
improving his condition. During
the greater part of his illness he
has been at a veterans hospital
but his care and welfare have
been solely administered by his
loving wife who has at all times
been near to do everything posi-
BILE to make his last days as pleas.
ant as possible.
"It will be remembered that
when the world wal broke out
Mr.. Brown was one of the first to
offer his services, going from here
to Texas where he served in some
capacity of office work until the
close of the conflict; after the
war he returned to Froid and re-
opened his law office and contin-
ued his practice for some time
until his health began to fail him
and he was forced to discontinue
business and go east for medical
attention. But this proved of no
particular avail as he gradually
declined and was later advised to
seek a warmer climate which was
thought might restore him to at
least partial health. California
was chosen as the most favorable
location, and himself and wife
went there with hopes for the
best, but even this failed to bring
the desired results, and he con
tinued to gradually grow worse
until the end finally came. He
made a gallant fight for life but
odds were against him. One OF
Mr.. Browns greatest desires was
to see his little son grow to man
hood and receive a good educa'
ton.
"Friends here who have known
Mr.. Brown these many years have
always expressed a feeling OF sor'
row for him during his long i'll
ness. and while his passing is
but a kindly act of Providence al
his friends cannot but regret his
death.
"The date of funeral services
are not known at this writing but
word received from Senator j
". Schnitzler who is now in Los
Angeles are to the effect that he
would be present at the funeral
and by request of Mrs. Brown, say
a few words at the grave as a last
farewell to the departed.
"Froid and community extends
to the surviving wife and little
son. heartfelt sympathy in their
loss of a loving husband and
father"
