BROWN, Nancy Jane
June 1916 Four Score Years and Ten
Ninety years, eleven months and ten days were allowed to Mrs. Nancy Jane Brown whose death occurred at the home of her son A.D. Brown, in Sumner, Sunday morning at seven o'clock June 11, 1916.
Deceased was born in Greensboro, Guilford County, North Carolina on June 25, 1825. Her girlhood days were before the railroad had become common passenger carrier, when the slaves were going to Canada by the "Underground Railroad", before the reaper and sewing machine, while yet the fireplace was in use, and before matches were invented. Her day has seen almost all of wonderful and improved machinery and equipment that we think so little about when we think of them at all.
In 1844, she was united in marriage to William Brown of Greenville, Ten. where she had moved with her parents in 1840. To this union ten children were born, two of whom died in infancy, and two on reaching maturity. Six children are now living: Samuel H. of Pleasanton, Nebr., Mary E. McCurry, Litchfield; Alfred D., Sumner; William S., Miller; Thomas S., Green River, Utah; Sarah E. Wilson, New Hampton.
There are twenty grandchildren, twenty great grandchildren and ten great great grandchildren who survive this aged mother and grandmother. A brother and sister Thomas A. Ireland of Colorado Springs, Colo. and Mrs. J.H. Austin of Albany, Mo. are all there is left of her father and mother's family.
In 1849, she and her husband migrated from Greenville to Albany, Mo. where she identified herself with the M.E. Church of that place. She remained a consistent member of the Methodist Church until after moving to Sartoria in 1885 when she joined the United Brethern Church of which she was a member at the time of her death.
Her husband died in 1880 (sic). From 1896 until the time of her death she was totally blind. Since being blind, she made her home with her children Samuel H., Mrs. McCurry, Alfred D. and William S. On account of her inability to travel great distances she was unable to go to the homes of her children Sarah of New Hampton, Mo. and Thomas, Green River, Utah.
A funeral service was held at the home of Alfred Brown where she died, at nine o'clock Thursday morning, Rev. Whitfield Thomas officiating and a beautiful duet song service presented by the Mesdames Mabel Millhouse and Nellie Moore.
The remains were then taken to Pleasanton by auto under guidance of Undertaker J.H. Yost. Pallbearers Messrs. Geo. B. Lodge, Charley Trindle, Bert Scranton, W.O. Stephens, W.S. Bush and W.S. Watson. The Rev. Wm. McClelland, German Baptist pastor officiated at the committal service.
