A YOUNG MAN DIES
Especially sad was the death of Robt. M. Brown, son of Mr. Robert Brown of this city, which occurred in Tampa, Florida last Thursday night. The deceased was a young man of fine physical appearance and was hardly 24 years of age. He had gone to Tampa less than six months ago and in that short time had worked his way up to a fine position with the Tampa Electric Company. The Tampa Tribune says he was very popular throughout that city. Upon the occasion of
his sickness and death his employers gave substantial evidence of the esteem they had for him.
The best attention was given the unfortunate man. A fine physician and nurse were employed and his brother Joseph M. Brown was with him for several weeks. But after a partial recovery, a relapse came, as is so often the case with typhoid fever, and there by the beautiful Tampa Bay, his fever brow fanned by its friendly breezes, his spirit went out over the waters of the untried sea to the mystic shores of the other world.
The faithful and stricken brother began the tedious journey homeward with the remains of the deceased, and after traveling nearly 900 miles, arrived here Saturday before noon. A party of friends were at the station and bore the casket to the nearby residence of Mr. Barron, where it rested till 2 o'clock. Borne by six companions into the Baptist church of which the deceased was a member, touching services were held by the pastor, attended by a large number
of sympathizing friends, after which the interment occurred in the city cemetery.
Mr. Brown was a quiet, well disposed young man, actively identified with church work and seemed to be entering upon a successful career. In his untimely death the hearts of all our people go out in sympathy to the bereaved family, who are among the best people of our community.
