ON ONE FARM LIVED DAVID BROWN
WHO DIED AT HIS HOME NORTH OF THIS CITY SUNDAY
One by one the pioneer citizens of
this community are passing to that
better land, and in their going
there passes into history the men who
lived and helped to make this county
the garden spot of America. In the death
of David Brown, aged 73 years, Jackson
township loses one of its most substantial
citizens, and probably the oldest pioneer
resident of the township.
His parents emigrated to this section
of the country about 75 years ago and
of the three brothers, David was born
on the old farm site 73 years ago, which
is one mile east of the Jackson Central
School. He never left the farm and at the
death of his parents and brothers he married,
but no children were born to this union.
He saw civilization pass on north and west
of his old home site. When a small boy all
the roads leading from Union City to his
home were known as "toll roads." As
years floated by he saw the "little red
school houses" which he was educated
in give way to a modern centralized school,
and was just about to see the passing into
history of the old coal oil lamp for the
modern electric light and electrical
equipment which is being installed in his
community at the present time.
One of the saddest events in his life came
on February 4th this year, when his beloved
wife died. Soon after her death he was
stricken with an incurable disease. He did
everything within his power to get relief
and was indeed fortunate in securing
the services last fall of Oscar A.J. Brown,
who watched over and cared for him
until the angel of death relieved him
from his sufferings Sunday morning
at 8:30.
He had been a lifelong member of
the Church of Christ. The funeral will
take place Tuesday morning at 10:30
o'clock from the Lisbon church
conducted by Rev. W.W. Sniff.
