From the Norfolk County (Mass.) Journal, Sept. 27, 1862:
The Killed in Capt. King's Company
[For the following biographies of the martyred dead of the 35th regiment, from this city (with one exception), we are indebted to Franklin Williams, Esq. Mr. Williams contributed a touching article of farewell to Capt. King's company, when it left our city, which our readers will doubtless call to mind.]
F.D. Brown was employed as a teamster at the Lead works. He was an excellent man in his business, a devoted husband and father. His parting with his family was hard, but , with a hopeful heart, he wished to exchange his whip for a musket, and helps sweep the traitors from existence. He leaves a wife and four children, who we would commend to the kind regard of this community. He was 41 years old.
