Obituary Notes - Mrs. Salmon Brown
Mrs. Salmon Brown died at the family residence Saturday afternoon, Jan. 19. Until about a year ago she enjoyed a degree of health that pertained to a long line of sturdy, temperate, frugal ancestors. Lately, however, her health began to fail and during the past few months acute troubles caused considerable suffering. During her most serious illness her daughter, Mrs. Lydia Crothers, of Westwood, Mich., spent some time here, returning to her family shortly before death. Another daughter, Mrs. Jennie Brown, lives with her husband and family in California, and owing to her own health was unable to make the long journey home. These two daughters and her husband survive her.
During her residence here of a little more than twenty years Mrs. Brown had lived an exemplary life as a wife, mother and neighbor. Not courting conspicuous position she yet exercised an influence for good, and was prominently and actively engaged in about all effort by the women for the betterment of the town. In a modest way she was helpful to her husband in a business and political career that has made him prominently known in the county. Her home life was ideal, her association with others helpful and exalting.
Mrs. Brown was a native of New York and her family, the Thompsons, were distinguished in the fight against slavery. In Kansas and in other states they were leaders in the movements that precipitated the war which abolished slavery. Two of her brothers, were killed with John Brown at Harper’s Ferry, being shot in the attack on the arsenal by U. S. Troops. Her husband, Salmon Brown, is a nephew of John Brown, and both of them in their lives and associations in this community have ever lived up to the spirit of integrity, firm adherence to what they deemed right, that so conspicuously attends the spirit and characteristics of their families - “Ossawatomie” Brown and the Thompsons, immortalized at Harper’s Ferry.
Mr. and Mrs. Brown were married in Ohio in 1869, moving to this vicinity in 1872, and to Kilbourn in 1886.
Funeral services were held at the family residence in Kilbourn Monday afternoon, Rev. A. V. Gulick officiating.
