June 6, 1834 --- April 3, 1895

It is with great sorrow we hear of the death of Mr. Ed. Brown, one of the early settlers of this township and for many years a resident of this neighborhood, where his daughter, Ella, a former County Superintendent of Wright county grew to womanhood. Mr. Brown was a kind neighbor, an old soldier and a man thoroughly respected by his host of friends who sympathize with his family in their great sorrow. Mrs. Brown has lost both husband and mother in less than a week. Her mother, Mrs. Sarah Dean, also a resident of this neighborhood for a number of years, was one of the kindest and best women we ever met.
