Brown, Little Dora, d / o Mr.
and Mrs. J. N. Brown, after 9 long years suffering, succumbs to
death, passing away at 2:30 P.M. Friday 14 Mar 1896. When 2 years
old, she received an injury, which afterward developed into "white
swelling" which remembered her almost helpless from that time and
finally caused her death. During the entire period of her sickness
and even up to within a few hours of her death, she bore her
suffering with the greatest patience. Conscious of the fact that
she would soon pass from life, she told her parents how she wished
her toys and playthings disposed of, also where she wished to be
buried, and who should take her to her last resting place. All her
requests were granted, and Sunday evening, surrounded by bereaved
parents and friends, a little mound was made in the Thurman Cemetery
showing Dora's last resting place. Dora Brown, born 25 Jul 1883,
died 14 Mar 1896, age 12 years 7 months 19 days.
