DICK BROWN DIED TODAY
Dick Brown , 84, passed away Thursday morning at about 10 o'clock at Meade hospital following several days' stay in the hospital. He is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Pattie Haskins of Meade and Mrs. Edgar Deck of Protection, Kansas and one son, Wendell Brown of Colorado Springs, Colo.
Mr. Brown was a well known long-time resident of Meade. For many years he worked as an engineer in the Meade Municipal Light and Power plant. He was as steady as a clock and held down the night shift for years.
He took up a hobby of making etchings with a fine-line pen and became a true artist at his hobby. He spent his vacations with his wife visiting historical and beauty spots where he reproduced scenes with his lines. In recent years his hand became unsteady and he gave up the hobby he so dearly loved.
Dick was a quiet man and was well liked by all who knew him. He never smoked but did chew cigars, one lasting him several hours. He was rarely seen without a cigar, which was never lighted.
He filled his niche in this world well and was ready to answer the call of the Great Redeemer, when the call was made.
Funeral arrangements will be announced later by Fidler Mortuary.
