The Anthony Weekly Bulletin Harper County Friday January 14, 1898 Benjamin Owen, only son of Mr. and Mrs. John D. BROWN, died at the family residence in this city, Sunday, January 9, of acute Bright's disease. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J.R. EDWARDS at the home, Tuesday afternoon, and the interment was in Forest Park Cemetery. The floral offerings from schoolmates and friends of the family, were numerous and beautiful, and the funeral services, while simple, were very impressive, a touching feature being the sincere grief of Owen's room-mates, who attended in a body. Many friends were present despite the rain storm, and Miss Maud BROWN of Emporia, daughter of Mr. Brown, and Miss HOLLINGSWORTH of Wellington, were in attendance form abroad. The services at the cemetery were of a necessity short on account of the rain, but were attended by a majority of those who were at the residence. Owen Brown was born in Anthony, Kansas, July 6, 188?, and was a sturdy and exceptionally bright lad for his years. He was a favorite with teacher and playmates, neighbors and friends, because of his frank and manly disposition, and the announcement of his illness called forth universal regret. The malady was a serious one from the start and although he received the loving ministrations of parents and other relatives, the watchful and assiduous care of physicians, it baffled all their care and skill. Several times he rallied and seemed to grow better only to yield a little each time until death claimed him. AN only son, he was the pride of his mother and the hope of his father, and their loss is irreparable and their grief inconsolable. They are joined in their sorrow by relatives and friends and the entire community is in sympathy with them, and such sympathy may in a measure aid them and ameliorate their grief.
