"The Wyandotte Gazette" (Kansas) Friday, July 14, 1882 On the eighth instant (July 8), Mrs. Julia A. BROWN, relict of Daniel BROWN, departed this life, at the residence of her eldest son, John H. BROWN, in this city. She was born near Bowling Green, Warren county, Ky., in 1803, thus being at the time of her decease nearly seventy-nine years of age. Losing her father at the age of twelve, she clung the more closely to her mother, and with her removed three years after to Shawneetown, Ill., and subsequently to Edwardsville in the same state. In 1836, she was united in marriage with Daniel BROWN, and they continued to reside in Illinois for fifteen years when they were swept by the tide of emigration to Iowa, a blooming wilderness, where a home was selected, a family reared and the comforts of independence won and heartily enjoyed. Thirty-one years elapsed, and her husband becoming an invalid, they removed to Leavenworth, Kan., and became inmates of the family of the son above mentioned. A few months after their arrival, she was called to mourn the loss of her husband, and since that event lived more in the pleasant recollections of the past than in the stirring, active present. Mrs. BROWN was of Scotch lineage, and like her country folk, while in health, was ever ready to lighten distress, assist the needy and wisely counsel the erring, as numbers of her old neighbors and associates can testify. For nearly fifty years she was a firm, consistent member of the M. E. church and by her daily example proved that her faith was founded on the "Rock of Ages." Verily, she was a daughter of Israel, under whose roof the poor itinerant found a cheerful, though temporary home, and the weary traveler a place of rest. On the tenth instant (July 10), the remains of the estimable wife, mother and Christian were conveyed to the beautiful cemetery near Leavenworth, and there laid by tender hands beside those of her husband and near those of a lovely grand-daughter, to await the summons of the resurrection morn, when the Son shall descend to claim his own. ================================================= (I have no connection with this person but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) =================================================
