>From the McArthur Democrat-Enquirer, March 26, 1919 "OBITUARY Susan Violetta, daughter of Henry and Sarah DYE, was born March 20, 1838 and died March 8, 1919, aged 81 years, 11 months, 18 days. She was one of a family of eight children, having three sisters and four brothers, all of whom have passed over the river but one brother, DYE, who resides at the old home place near Hamden. She united with the church at the age of seventeen and throughout the remainder of a life much longer than is allotted man she never forgot her God, knowing that we are judged according to the thoughts and intents of the heart and by an impartial Judge. November 19, 1857, at the age of nineteen, she was married to James C. BROWN. To this union were born thirteen children, five of whom have preceded her to the great beyond, three of them dying in infancy. The survivors are: Mrs. Pinkney ARBAUGH, Radcliff, Mrs. George WALTON, Millsfield, C. W. BROWN, Lincoln ILL., Mrs. Stuart KNAPP, Wilkesville, Mrs. George NEWMAN, Puritan, D. O. BROWN Crawfordsville, ILL., O. C. BROWN, Puritan, and C. E. BROWN, Ritchie, ILL. Besides the children are thirty-two grandchildren and thirty-six great-grandchildren besides a large number of other relatives. Most of her life was spent with her family in Ohio, but in 1890 they moved to Illinois, where after a residence of seventeen years her husband passed to his reward. After about two years, she came back to Ohio to be near her relatives, and friends of her old home among whom she spent the remainer of her life, passing over from the home of her daughter, Mrs. NEWMAN at Puritan. Dearest Mother thou hast left us And thy loss we deeply feel, But our God who took you from us, He will all our sorrows heal. Her hands were clasped upon her breast, We have kissed her loving brow, And in our aching hearts we know We have no Mother now. So let us live that when we die, To us it may be given To meet dear Mother in the sky, And dwell with her in heaven."
