Death of Mrs. Emily Vilate Pugh Brown
An Estimable Young Lady
Kanab, Kane County, April 11. A shadow of deepest gloom and sorrow is resting upon our town, occasioned by the death of Mrs. Emily Vilate Pugh Brown. Sister Brown was one of our most beloved young ladies and a leader in all social and religious matters; no gathering was ever complete without her cheerful presence.
She was married last spring to James A. Brown, one of our most promising young men, who at the time of his wife's illness, was on a mission in California.
Sister Brown was taken ill early in March with la grppe. March 22nd she gave birth, prematurely, to a baby girl. Owing to the precarious condition of Sister Brown's health, President Snow was notified, and he immediately wired Brother Brown a furlough, Elder Brown arriving here April 7th just four hours after his wife had passed away. All the loving hearts and skillful hands could do, had been done for her, but she finally succumed to heart failure, superinduced by la grippe.
Sister Brown was born in Kanab, October 18, 1876. She was the daughter of Edward and Elizabeth Kelly Pugh. Her baby girl survives her.
The funeral services were held Sunday, the 9th, and were attended by almost the entire population of Kanab, whilst friends and sympathizers came from surrounding settlements to pay their respects to the deceased. The young ladies of the Y.L.M.I.A. of which Sister Brown was a most efficient officer, decorated the assembly hall with flowers and white drapery. After most impressive services, the remains were followed to the cemetery by 300 people. Thirty-eight young ladies dressed in white led the way to the grave and following them were other pedestrains, amoung the President Woolley, Bishop Johnson, Hon. Joseph E. Robinson, and other prominent citizens, then came the hearse followed by twenty-six vehicles.
Sister Brown died in full faith and fellowship in the Gospel, and the promise of the Master, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God," will be realized by her.
Her wide circle of friends throughout the State will join with us in sympathy and blessings to her sorely grieved husband and parents.
Elder Brown returns to his field of labor in a few days.
