DIED.
BROWN--On the evening of April 26th, at her home near Tipton, Mrs. Mary C., wife of John W. Brown, in the 69th year of her age.
The deceased was born in Whitestown, Oneida county, New York, and with her husband moved to Rockingham, Scott County, Iowa, in the spring of 1836. About five years later she came to Red Oak Grove, Cedar County, where they resided till within eighteen months of her decease, this interval being spent in their new home near Tipton.
The deceased was a member of the Presbyterian church for more than forty years, and adorned her Christian profession by a most exemplary and godly life. She was known and regarded as a true mother in Israel. Youth and old age regarded it as a privilege to do her honor. She loved the gates of Zion, and was ever interested in all that pertained to the churches' welfare. The last ten months of her life were spent in great physical weakness and suffering, but no murmur escaped her lips--through all she deported herself with marked patience and fortitude.
From the church militant, "through great tribulation," she has gone up to the church triumphant, "having washed her robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." The church of Red Oak Grove has lost one of its most beloved and spiritual members, but our loss is her unspeakable gain.
Faithful as a partner in life, devoted and kind as a mother, peaceable and generous as a neighbor, she will be remembered with affection as among the most beloved of the Red Oak Grove Old Settlers, she has passed from us, but the hallowed influence she has left behind will live long in grateful remembrance in the many hearts made sad by her departure. Her husband and three sorrowing children have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community. But He who has taken away from them Earth's greatest joy can make all grace and comfort to abound. "For so he giveth his beloved sleep."
F.I.M.
On last Saturday, at Tipton, occurred the death of Mrs. J. W. Brown, in the 68th year of her age. She was a sister of Judge W. L. Cook, and came here with the Cook family forty-eight years ago. She was one of the oldest settlers of the county, and one of eight children who floated down the Ohio river on a raft to Cairo, and from there they made their way to Davenport, arriving in the spring of '36. She lived here eight years when she removed to Red Oak Grove, Cedar County, where she resided until her death. She was the mother of eleven children, of whom only three are now living. Mrs. Browm was a woman of strong character, admirable and lovely, and was well known to the old settlers of Scott County. She and her husband, who survives her, celebrated the 50th anniversary of their wedding last September; for more than a half century they have enjoyed each other's society, and now the wife, the mother, the sister, the good woman, has passed over the river only a little in advance of those whom she so much loved, and to whom she devoted her life. In the autumnal ripeness of her age she is called to her reward.--Davenport Gazette.
