Sudden Death of Mrs. Ed Brown.
_____________

Just as preparations had all been made to move from the home near Kenesaw, Nebraska, to Wisconsin, and while the husband was in that state, Mrs. Ed Brown died suddenly of pneumonia fever. The body was brought to Decatur City, Iowa, Mrs. Brown's former home, where the funeral services were conducted in the Methodist church on Wednesday morning, Dec. 2nd, by Rev. Guy J. Fansher, pastor of the Methodist church of Leon.

The following obituary was read at the service:

Clara Belle Wright was born near Gladstone, Illinois, Feb. 28th, 1877, and died at her home near Hastings, Neb., Nov. 26th, 1914, aged 37 years, 8 months and 27 days.

She was married to Edward Brown of Decatur, Iowa, in the month of Nov. 1898. She leaves to mourn her loss a loving husband, five children, five sisters and one brother, and a host of near relatives and friends. She will be sadly missed in her home as she was so good and willing to do anything to make the family happy. Five years ago she united with the Christian church in Nebraska. She was always cheerful and always tried to makeothers happy.
