OBITUARY :
APOPLEXY HAS FATAL ENDING FOR W. H. BROWN - Was Yard Foreman At Shops For Thirty Years After Coming Here
WILLIAM H. BROWN, for a number of years yard foreman for the Geiser Manufacturing company, and their successors, the Emerson-Brantingham company, died suddenly from a stroke of apoplexy Sunday noon at 12:30 o'clock at his residence, 124 North Potomac avenue, in the 66th year of his age.
Mr. Brown's death was sudden and unexpected though he had long been ill. The week before last Thanksgiving he had a slight paralytic stroke, but from the affects of which he had so far recovered that he was able to resume work in a short time. Later, however, his condition became more serious and finally he quit work shortly before Christmas. Since then there had been some improvement in his case and he only took his bed a week ago.
The funeral will be held Wednesday at 10 o'clock at the house in charge of Rev. T. H. Matterness and Rev. Dr. F. F. Bahner. Interment in Burns Hill cemetery.
Mr. Brown is survived by his wife, who was Miss Sarah Jane McCleary, of Elbrook, and one son, Dr. Robert B. Brown, this city; also brother, Daniel Brown, of Quinsonia, and these sisters: Mrs. Alice Gordon and Mrs. Alfred Price, Waynesboro; Mrs. Jacob Foreman, north of town, and Mrs. George E. Gilbert, Chambersburg.
The deceased was the son of Daniel Brown and was born March 7, 1855, on the farm at the Wharf, now called Russell Station. He was married in October 1880. Thirty years ago he removed to town and became yard foreman for the then American Manufacturing company. Thirteen years later he went to Geisers and for seventeen years worked there for their successors.
Mr. Brown was a member of Trinity Reformed church and the Bible class in the Sunday school; also the Odd Fellows and the Fraternal Mystic Circle. He served a couple terms in the town council. He was a man of exemplary character and had the respect and esteem of the whole public. His death removes a good citizen.
