BROWN –A. M. Brown passed away suddenly at his home Sunday morning about 3 o'clock. He seemed to be in perfect health until a few minutes before his death, having been about his work the day before, coming up town late Saturday evening.

Amsey M. Brown was born in the state of New York, March 4, 1838, and died August 5, 1917, being 79 years, five months and one day old at the time of his death. He came from Iowa to Kansas in 1888, coming directly to the new town of Horton, which was then only two years old. In that year he put up the frame building in which for 29 years he has conducted his furniture and second hand business.

Mr. Brown was twice refused admittance to the Union army in the Civil war because of lung trouble. In his younger days he was a trapper and raft pilot on the St. Lawrence river.

In 1859 he was married to Leverna Maze, of Prairie Du Chien, Wis. Mrs. Brown died July 10, 1898, and in 1899 Mr. Brown married Georgiana Blackmore, of Red Cloud, Neb.
