Dr. Angus BROWN died at his residence at noon today after an illlness with cancer of the stomach that confined him to his home for eight months.
Angus Brown was born in lower Canada more than 71 years ago and commenced the practice of homeopathic medicine in 1863. Six years later he located in Rochester. His first wife was Jane McARTHUR and to them five children were born, viz: Mary and Catherine [BROWN] of Trinidad, California; Dougal [BROWN], of Pontiac, Michigan; Hugh [BROWN], of Chicago; and Jennie [BROWN], of Kokomo.
Mrs. Brown died in 1867 and the doctor, four years afterward married Mrs. Lucy SHAF[F]ER, mother of Tommy SHAF[F]ER and Mrs. Jo[seph F.] [Mary B. SHAFFER] SEIGFRIED. To the latter union four children were born, viz: Town Clerk Wm. BROWN, Dr. Archie BROWN and Mrs. Grant WALLER, of this city, and John B. BROWN, of Pontiac, Michigan. All of these and one brother survive.
Dr. Brown was not only a prominent man in the medical profession but took an active interest in educational and benevolent work and was a leading member of the Rochester Christian church for twenty-five years. He was an unpretentious, quiet gentleman of deep and unwavering convictions and the community always found him sincere and devoted to good works.
