Traer Loses Mrs. G. R. Brown, Esteemed Resident Many Years
Addie Camery, Member of Prominent Pioneer Family, Before Her Marriage
Mrs. George R. Brown, 77, widely known and highly respected resident of the Traer community since earliest days, died Sunday morning at her home here. In 1931 Mrs. Brown suffered a severe paralytic stroke, followed by a second minor stroke, from which she made, after several months, a rather remarkable recovery for one of her advanced years. She then continued in comparatively good health until about six weeks ago, when she began to fail rapidly. She suffered several heart attacks, the last one coming suddenly and proving fatal about 4 a. m. Sunday. She had appeared to be feeling as usual the evening before and her death was unexpected.
Addie M. Camery, daughter of Chris P. and Annie Camery, was born September 1, 1858, at Wyanet, Illinois. She was the third child in a family of nine, one of whom died in infancy. Six of the children were born in Illinois. In 1867 Mr. Camery, who was a carpenter by trade, brought his family to Iowa and settled on what is now known as the Keller farm in north Tama county. Addie attended rural school in her home community, then learned the trade of dressmaking, which she followed for many years. The family moved to Traer in 1873, and she became affiliated with the Methodist Episcopal church here during the pastorate of the Rev. George B. Shoemaker.
On December 18, 1902 she married George R. Brown, who, at 92, is today one of the county’s oldest residents. Two stepsons, Dr. C. H. Brown, Traer dentist, and Dr. Frank Brown, of Chicago, also survive. Mrs. Brown was a member of a family long prominently affiliated with the history of the Traer community. Her brothers and sisters were Robert, Lizzie, Cora, Logan, Mort, Bert, Lulu and Will Camery. Of these only one sister, Mrs. W. R. Fleming, northeast of Traer, and one brother, Will Camery, of New Underwood, South Dakota, survive.
The funeral was scheduled for Tuesday afternoon at the home here but, was postponed until the following day when relatives from a distance were unable to reach Traer because of weather and road conditions. The Rev. C. E. Luce, local Methodist pastor, was in charge. Burial was in Buckingham cemetery. The casket bearers were Robert Fleming, of Burlington, Iowa; and John, Paul, and Logan Fleming, of Traer, all nephews of the decedent; Leo Schlomer and Russell Congdon.
