Sandy Spring Bank HOnOrs
Memory Of Everett Brown

The Savings Institution of Sandy
Spring last week at the annual meet
ing of the board of directors eulogized
William Everett Brown, who died re-
Gently.
The following report was adopted:
"In the death of William Everett
Brown on December IL, 1882, the
Savings Institution lost a faithful,
conscientious, and valued director. He
was born on a Montgomery County
farm and lived on one until almost the
end of his life. When elected to the
board in March, 1921, he brought the
same energy that he had always ap-
piled in his own pursuits. He gave un-
biased and thoughtful judgement on
all the varied problems of the business
of the bank and truly kept in mind his
representation of the interest of the
depositors but he retained sympathy
and understanding and he was never
cold nor heartless in expressing his
opinion in what should be done in
given situation.
"Mr. Brown attended all meetings
of the board without exception and
was always ready and willing to do
anything in connection with the banks
work when called on. The sudden
death of his beloved wife and COM
panion in June, 1881, was a shock
which he could never entirely recover,
and his passing away leaves feeling
of the loss of real friend and fellow
worker with all the directors, and the
sympathy of each one of us goes to
the four children to whom he was so
devoted"
