Mrs. Lizzie Brown, long-time resident of Madison county, died last Wednesday, June 16, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Earl Miller, of near Dexter. She was 79 years of age.

Mrs. Brown was the former Lizzie Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Smith, and was born in Marion county, Indiana, on Sept. 24, 1864. The family later moved to Adair county in this state, and as a young woman she came to Winterset.

She was married here in 1887 to R. F. Brown. They were the parents of three children, all of whom survive. Her husband died in November, 1942.

Mrs. Brown united with the Methodist church in Winterset as a young woman. She later transferred her membership to the Worthington church.

She is survived by the three children, Mrs. Mary Olson of Des Moines, Mrs. Earl Miller of Dexter, and Frank Brown of Earlham. She also leaves two sisters, two brothers, nine grandchildren and five great grandchildren.

Funeral services were held last Friday from the Worthington church, in charge of the Rev. W. A. Samp, pastor of the Methodist church in Winterset. Burial was made in the cemetery there.
