A. Brown's Life Unexpectedly Closes. A Hemorrhage. Following Weeks of Feebleness, Terminates Fatally - Funeral Thursday Article: The announcement of the death of Mrs. Clara Brown, the estimable wife of Charles A. Brown, at a late hour Tuesday afternoon, was a painful surprise to the many friends of the family. It has been generally known for a long time that her health was not good, but there were but few of her most intimate friends who suspected that she was so near to death's door. For 10 years she has been a victim to pulmonary affliction, and subject to light hemorrhages. About two months ago the hemorrhages became more frequent and she was compelled to remain in bed a great deal of the time. On Tuesday her condition appeared to be no worse than usual, but a few minutes before 5 o'clock the final hemorrhage came on and she soon passed away. Most of the family were at her bedside when the hour of dissolution came. The funeral will take place Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. O. P. Shrout will conduct the services at the residence. The maiden name of the deceased was Clara Leman. She was a native of St. Louis, Missouri, and was born on the 18th of January, 1852. She was therefore 50 years, 9 months and 9 days of age. While she was but a babe Mrs. Brown's parents removed from St. Louis to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Their stay in the coal regions was of brief duration, and in 1857 the family crossed the plains to California. They came direct to Yolo county and engaged in farming on a tract of land about two and a half miles west of Woodland. Mrs. Brown was educated in the public schools of Yolo county. Indeed, she was a resident of the county for nearly 45 years. On the 13th of January, 1871, deceased was married to C. A. Brown. The ceremony was performed in a house which stood upon the site of the cottage where she breathed her last, and for 31 years that was her home except for a time while the present cottage was in course of construction. Mrs. Brown was the mother of five children, of whom four survive her. These are Mrs. Ella Allen and Mrs. W. E. Morrow, and two sons, Charles and Walter. All of them reside in Woodland. An only sister, Mrs. Fannie Huntley, of Independence, Oregon, had been visiting the Brown family for some time and comforted Mrs. Brown during her last hours. An only brother, C. E. Leman, lives west of Woodland. Mrs. Brown was a devout member of the Christian church and her life was without ostentation, an illustration of the virtues of a Christian woman, and she died cherishing a Christian's hope. To kindred she was affectionate and devoted, to friends faithful and unfaltering, and her death will be mourned by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
