Mrs. Brown was the mother of Mrs. J. L. Overstreet well-known and esteemed here as one of our former winter visitors, and a grove owner. Mr. and Mrs. Brown also visited Crescent City some years ago, spending the winter at Crescent Inn, and on which occasion she became greatly endeared to many of our people. The Galesburg papers give much space to the story of Mrs. Brown's life and her many Christian virtues.
She was a pioneer in Illinois and in the section where she resided exercised a wholesome influence upon the community. Her death was due to the feebleness of age and she is mourned by a devoted husband and six children, as well as an uncommonly large circle of friends.
