Obituary 1908 Milton Eagle
Another pioneer of Milton goes to a well earned rest
Green be the grass above thee
Friend of better days
None knew thee but to love thee
None named thee but to praise
Tears fell when thou were dying
From eyes unused to weep
And long where thou art lying
Will tears the cold earth steep
It becomes the sad duty of the Eagle to chronicle the death of the father of its publisher,Walter Scott Brown,who departed this life Wednesday June 3,1908 at 8:40 A.M. after an illness of almost a year. His illness and death were caused by complications of diseases, superinduced by heart disease.Although suffering intensly at times he bore his long sickness with recognition and even cheerfulness and faced the inevitable end with a calmness vouchafed only to those with a knowledge that their lives have been well lived. The end came peacefully and he went to his last long sleep as easily as a tired child finds slumber in his mother's arms.
Walter Scott Brown was born in Springfield, Illinois in 1833 and at the time of his death was 75 years, 1 month and 21 days old. When he was 15 years old he went with his parents to the then frontier state of Wisconsin,the family locating at Stevens Point, where his two sisters yet reside and where his mother and two brothers are buried. In early life he followed the occupation of raftsman on the Wisconsin and Mississippi Rivers and made many trips to St. Louis and New Orleans with loads of lumber.His education was finished at Indianapolis, Indiana and he was a graduate of Bryants Community Collage of that city. He was married to Maria Fay November 30, 1860 in Racine, Wisconsin where his daughters were born.........unreadable....plains to Oregon. It took six months to make the trip He located on land on the Walla Walla river a few miles below Milton and returned to Wisconsin for his family who accompanied him here the following year. Shortly after returning to Oregon he took up a homestead on Russell creek in Walla Walla county, Washington where he lived a few years after which he returned to Oregon, this time locating on the Walla Walla River about ten miles above Milton. There he engaged in stock raising and for a time he conducted a saw mill. Many of the first buildings in Milton being constructed of lumber furnished by him. In 1878 he came to Milton and in the company with John Talbert built the first shingle and chop mill in Milton. Shortly after he purchased Mr. Talbert's interest in the mill and conducted the business untill a few years ago. He established the first butcher shop in Milton constructing the building, which still stands on main street, with his own hands.
He was identified with the business life of Milton since its infancy and was a member of the towns first board of councilmen. Quiet and unassuming in his ways his friends numbered all who knew him and the high esteem in which he was held is best shown by the tribute of a friend who had known him for more than a quarter of a century and who comparing him with his own father, also deceased, said: If either of them ever did a wrong in his life it was because he did not know it.
In his death the community loses an honorable upright citizen and his widow and his children lose an always kind and just husband and father.He will ever live in the hearts of all of them. At his own request services were held at the family residence. Rev. B.J. Hoadley of the Methodist Episcopal church officiating. Interment was made in the city cemetary.
Besides his widow he leaves to mourn his loss a daughter,Mrs. Anna Hull of Portland; five sons D.F., C.E., H.F., Winfield S. and D.C. and two sisters Mrs. Geo. W. Cate and Mrs. Henry Cate, of Stevens point Wisconsin, besides several grandchildren.
