Byron Scott Brown Dead-Mourned as Old Friend
15 Mar--the mournful death of Byron S. Brown in Saginaw, Michigan, 6th of March, was expected for some time as his devoted wife cared for him to the end. He often spoke of his joys and reading the weekly Courier to him brought him nearer to those things most loved, "home land" and childhood friends. The name of Byron Brown signifies good fellowship. He was always happiest in the circle of old friends he drew about him, talking of the old days. Those most often his companions valued most his genial qualities, jovial nature and kindly heart. He delighted to revive old memories and always had at his tongue's end some bit of village history or local anecdote to enliven social hours. On such topics no one was better posted and on returning here from Saginaw he seemed to take up village life at the point where he had dropped it 30 years ago. Byron Scott Brown was born in Leonardsville on the 8th of December in 1850. He was the son of Isaac Brown Jr., and Elizabeth Randolph Brown, his father's second wife. The old homestead where Byron Brown was born was the well-remembered "yellow house" on North Main Street the site of which is now owned by Mrs. B. L. Sprague. Byron was brought up in the village where he attended the district school and later left to attend the old DeRuyter institute. His daily life included school and farm work with his elder brother, James P. Brown, the cheese buyer. Later, he learned the carpentry trade and built many village houses in whole or part. In 1880, he went to Saginaw and entered D Hardin & Co's planing mill where he worked steadily for 25 years or more. His connection with the firm ended in 1909, when he returned to Leonardsville permanently, or so he thought. However, he returned to Saginaw a year ago as a result of unexpected circumstances last summer, and then his health failed leaving him unable to work for months before his death. With his death, the last member of his father's family has gone. His brother, Edwin R. Brown, died in Windsor, Canada, a few years ago and his sister, Nancy, wife of Henry D. Babcock, in September, 1908. The sons and daughter of Isaac Brown's first marriage were Charles S. Brown of New York and James P, Brown of Utica, partners in the firm of Chas. S. Brown & Co., George C. who died in Newark, New Jersey., William S. of Barrie, Illinois, Malvina, wife of Horace Dennett of New York and Eliza, wife of John C. Hoxie of Utica. A son, Isaac, died in childhood. These names are well remembered and beloved by older citizens and to the list is added that of Byron Brown. His surviving relatives include many nephews, nieces and cousins, with whom he was a special favorite and for whom he had a great affection as they had for him. He was married in Bay City, Michigan, in April 1883, to Mrs. Mary Hanson of that city, to whom much sympathy is given. Burial was made in Oakwood cemetery, Saginaw, last Tuesday, conducted by Rev. Emil Montanus of that city.
