    3. Following obit dated November 16, 1905 Frank Brown, more familiarly known as "Beecher," died at 12 o'clock last night at St. Joseph's hospital in Logansport. The remains will be brought to Star City, his former home, this evening, and will be taken to the home of his brother Harry. The funeral will be held Saturday, with interment in the Mull cemetery. Frank was injured on the railroad about two weeks ago. He was braking, and was on top of a car at Bradford, Ohio. As the train rounded the big curve there he fell off, alighting on his back across the rail of a side track. His back was broken, and his legs were paralyzed from that injury. He was brought to the hospital, and had been reported getting along, so the announcement of his death came as a surprise. He was thirty-six years old, and leaves a widow and one child. __________________________________________ This same Frank is listed in Cass County [IN] death records being 33 years old. Cass Co., Indiana, WPA Death Records Bra - Bru http://www.rootsweb.com/~incass/bra-bru.html _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I believe Frank is related to my BROWNs from Van Buren Twp, Pulaski Co, IN. The information passed down in our family listed a Beecher Brown as a son of Martin and Catherine (Enyeart/Enyert) BROWN. Martin and Catherine also had a son named Harry. Many of the BROWNs in my ancestry are buried in Mull Cemetery, Van Buren Twp, Pulaski Co, IN. Would love to hear from anyone related to "Beecher!" Cindy Kimes
