ROBERT BROWN
Redwood City Standard
Dec 22, 1921
Pioneer Citizen Laid to Rest
Hundreds of men and women in all walks of life gathered at the First Congregational Church Sunday afternoon to pay their last respects to Robert Brown, pioneer resident of Redwood City, who passed away at his home on Main Street early Friday morning following a long illness. Rev. C.H. Stevens, who conducted the services at the church, paid a glowing tribute to the deceased, telling of his long life of usefulness in the community, of his many acts of kindness and charity and of his devotion to his family and friends.
A quartet composed of Mrs. C.H. Stevens, Mrs. Chas, L. Dimmitt, O. M. Carrington, and WiLbur Doxsee, sang during the services while several solos were feelingly rendered by Mr. Carrington. The many beautiful floral pieces which completely surrounded the casket and filled the front of the church, attested the high esteem in which Mr. Brown was held in the community.
The Interment was in Union Cemetery. The following old time friends acted as pallbearers: L.P. Behrens, T.C. Rice, Chas. Lambert, Kenneth Murray, Chas. Betten and Knox Parrish.
Mr. Brown was a native of Scotland and was 74 years old. He came to the United States when a young boy and had been a resident of Redwood City for nearly forty years. He was a successful contractor and builder and for a number of years conducted a mill at the corner of Main and Stambaugh Streets, where the Wm. Jamieson building and residence now stands. Many of the business buildings and residences of Redwood City were built by Mr. Brown. He retired about ten years ago to enjoy the fruits of his labors. About seven years ago, he suffered a stroke of paralysis and since that time he had been practically an invalid.
Mr. Brown is survived by his widow, Mrs. Lydia Locker Brown who for many years served as president of the local chapter of the American Red Cross and was active in social work in this city. The deceased was a member of Redwood City Lodge No. 168 F & A M and Bay View Lodge no. 109 I.O.O.F. He was a member of the board of town trustees for four years, filling that position with credit to himself and honor to the city. Both Mr. And Mrs. Brown were active members of the First Congregational Church for over thirty years and Mr. Brown up to the time of his illness, was chairman of the Board of Trustees of the church
In the passing of Robert Brown, Redwood City has lost one of it's most beloved citizens and the sympathy of the community goes out to the widow who was his devoted companion for may years.
