A. C. Brown was born on November 18, 1839, in Illinois, and passed away on November 2, 1932, at South Pasadena, Calif., at the age of ninety-three years. The funeral service was conducted by his friend and preacher-brother, D. W. Nay, assisted by his cousin. Brother Brown served as an elder of the Sichel Street Church, Los Angeles, for several years, until impaired by age. He was also a gospel preacher and prolific gospel writer, whose articles appeared on the front page of the Christian Leader for a number of years. His devoted companion, with whom he pleasantly passed sixty-four years while passing down the hillside of mortality, predeceased him just a few years. If memory serves me right, there was only one day of absence from his wife during this time. It was my good pleasure to visit Brother Brown a number of times at his home during the past year. He was very devotedly and tenderly cared for by his daughter, Sister Mary Kendrick. He lived a very clean, pure life, with no guile found in his mouth or life that I ever heard of. His radiant life beautifully reflected the life of the Master in word and deed, and his buoyant hope of the future life often found expression in his conversation. He loved to talk of the unseen things above, and many times asked me this question: "Brother Glenn, I have often wondered, will we know each other
there? Will I know my wife there?" He seemed to enjoy so much the services of prayer, reading, and singing familiar songs that a few of us engaged in several times at his home as he neared the sunset of life. His active mind repeated many verses by heart, and he sang with us nearly every song. His many friends and loved ones have the full assurance that he fulfilled abundantly the requirements of a faithful steward, and therefore awaits the final plaudit of the last great day: "Well done, thou good and faithful servant: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."
