In Memoriam-
Elizabeth J. Brown, wife of Dennison Brown, departed life December 4, 1895, at their home in Paris, after a brief illness of some ten days, although she bad been in poor health for nearly three years. Her maiden name was Elizabeth J. Hakes, her birth place Petersburg, N. Y., where she was born May 2, 1823, and at the time of her demise was aged 72 years 7 months and 2 days. January 14, 1844 she was united in marriage with Dennison Brown, and they came to Howard county in 1870, and had been residents of the county for a quarter of a century, when the tie that bound them as man and wife was snapped assunder. She had for years been a member of the M. E. church and worthily lived the life of a Christian, and passed away with a firm belief that her redeemer liveth. Her interment was in the New Oregon cemetry.{sic} There were no children born to them, and the husband who survives is advanced in years, his 76 birthday occuring on the 3rd of January 1896. Both wore highly respected in the community where they have spent so many years, and will be greatly missed. Life will indeed be lonely with the surviving husband through his remaining years.
