Lewis R. Brown was born in Jefferson Co. N. Y., Feb. 8, 1834. Was married to Sarah L. Champlin of Jefferson Co., N.Y., Oct. 8, 1856. Two children were born to them, Henry C., of Cresco, and Susie, now Mrs. Barrett, of Nashua, Iowa.
He came to Iowa in 1860 and settled on a farm in Orleans Tp., where he continued to live until four years ago, when he moved South, thinking the change would be benficial{sic} to his health. Not finding relief in the South, he moved back to Southern Iowa last August, where he passed away, Dec.27.
Funeral services were held at the Congregational church, Cresco. Friday afternoon, Dec. 28th, conducted by Rev. O. H. Holmes. The very large number of old residents of both, Howard and Winnesheik{sic} counties, old friends and neighbors of the deceased, who attended the funeral, attested to the worth of Mr. Brown as a man, a friend, and a neighbor. Interment was in Oak Lawn.
