"Bert W. Brown, president of the Charles E. Brown Printing Company, died last night at La Jolla, Cal., according to word received here by his brother, D. Arthur Brown, 628 West 67th street, a partner in the printing company.
With his wife, Bert Brown went to California last September to spend the fall and winter. About a year ago, Mr. Brown suffered an apoplectic stroke while at dinner at the home of his brother, and after that he had rested at his home at Lake Quivira.
Born in 1879 [sic] at Winston, Mo., Mr. Brown came to Kansas City when he was five years old and had lived here since. He was one of the oldest executives in the printing craft here. He attended the old Humboldt school and was graduated from the old Central high school in the same class as Bryce B. Smith. In high school he helped earn his living expenses by correcting papers in mathematics in his junior and senior years.
He was a member of the Chamber of Commerce, the Kansas City Athletic Club and the Meadow Lake Golf Club and was chairman of the board of trustees of the First Baptist Church, of which he had been a member since the days, decades ago, when the church was on the present site of the Hotel Muehlebach.
He leaves his widow, Mrs. May E. Brown, and another brother, Dr. William A. Brown, pastor of the Methodist church at Moorhead, Minn.; six nephews, William R. Brown of 6145 Holmes street, Arthur H. Brown of 6839 Oak street terrace, Albert V. Brown of 5507 Virginia avenue, Charles Ellsworth Brown of 7635 Holmes street, Merwyn J. Brown of the Elsemere hotel, and Charles D. Brown of Martinsville, Va.; and two nieces, Miss Rebecca Brown of 628 West 67th, and Mrs. James A. McClure of Washington, Mo." The Kansas City Star, February 11, 1937
