News has just reached here of the death at Bayside, Texas, of John Brown, Sr., one of the oldest and best known settlers of this county. He was more than a local character having at one time been a candidate for County attorney. He was educated for the ministry in his native land, Scotland. And afterwards studied and practiced law and medicine. He founded the Cuba Pilot and edited it, and also the Daylight for several years. He held various local offices here, including city attorney and police judge. He was also quite a speaker and was much in demand in this line. Since moving to Texas two years ago he served as pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church in his home town. He is survived by a widow and one son at Bayside, and two sons and a daughter here.
