Mr. Lloyd Brown Dies Early Today
Proprietor of Brown Café Dies Following Year of Ill Health
John Lloyd Brown, 59, proprietor of the Brown cafe, died today about 5:00 a.m. at the Skiff Memorial hospital, in spite of efforts of the attending physician and the city fire department to keep him alive.
When Mr. Brown, who had been in poor health for the past year, became suddenly worse Sunday, the physician enlisted the aid of the fire department in applying the inhalator. Oxygen was supplied by the inhalator for two hours, the machine being kept in use while Mr. Brown was removed from his home to the hospital.
Definite funeral arrangements have not been made, as the family is awaiting word from a sister in West Virginia.
A native of Morgantown, W. Va., Mr. Brown had been in the restaurant business in Newton for the last nine years. He was previously engaged in the same business in North Dakota and Minnesota.
Surviving relatives include his wife; two daughters, Mrs. Mavis Robinson and Alice Irene, and two sons, Wayne Lloyd and Stanley John, all of Newton; one grandchild, Richard Lowell Robinson of Newton, and one half-sister, Mrs. Frank Freeman of West Virginia.
