Hannah Jane MacNeal was born in Sterling, Cayuga county, New York, April 11, 1831, where her early life was spent. She was the youngest daughter and next to the youngest child of Abraham and Elizabeth MacNeal.
Aug. 12, 1851, she was united in marriage to Milan M. Brown at the home of her brother at Euclid, Ohio, going with him to make their home at Ravenna, Ohio, where they lived until the fall of 1854, when they came to Michigan, settling at Coldwater in November of the same year, removing to Quincy in April of the following year - 1855 - since which time it has been her home.
Early in life she gave her heart to God, uniting with Baptist church and has always led an earnest, conscientious christian life, training her children in the faith and always doing all she ould of church work as her strength would permit. In her younger years she was a teacher in Sunday school, a constituent member and an active worker in the Missionary Circle of which she has been president and also held office of treasurer of the Home department ten years or more, until through the infirmities of age she was obliged to resign the office, never, however, losing her interest but always contributing cheerfully, not only for herself but also in memory of her beloved companion who, during his lifetime, was an honarary member of the Ladie's Mission Circle. With her husband, M M. Brown, she united with the Quincy Baptist church in the spring of 1855, and her death removes one of its oldest members.
She was the mother of five children, two dying in infancy, but aside from making a home for husband and children, hers was a home for the homeless, nine having found refuge there.
On the evening of September 17 she fell and broke her hip, since which time she was a patient sufferer until she entered into rest just as the church bells were calling people to worship Sunday morning, Sept. 28, 1913, aged 82 years, 5 months and 17 days.

Johnson, of Chicago, Ill; Arnet Rama and Ruth Cole, of Quincy; and Loweta and Corotha Brown, of Angola, Ind.; also three great grandchildren and several nephews and nieces.
