L. C. Brown Expires After A Day's Illness
LIVED HERE FOR THIRTY YEARS
Was One Of the Successful Farmers of Plymouth County—Left Here Two Years Ago to Make Home in South Dakota
Friends at LeMars received word on Friday of the sudden death of Lem Brown at his home near Pierre, South Dakota. Death was very sudden following a day's illness, and was ascribed by attending physicians to heart and stomach trouble. He was taken violently ill early on Thursday morning and died within a few hours.
The remains were brought to this city accompanied by his wife on Saturday and the funeral was held yesterday at the First M.E. church, Rev. E. E. Gilbert officiating.
Mr. Brown was a pioneer settler of Plymouth County and lived here for over thirty years. Two years ago he moved to Pierre, South Dakota, near which place he had made big investments in land.
Lemuel C. Brown was a native Iowan, being born in this state, and lived here nearly all his life. He was born at Sabula, Jackson County, March 30, 1855, and came to Plymouth County when a youth in 1972 and engaged in farming. On August 16, 1876, he was united in marriage with Miss Sarah J. Turton (sic), of Merrill, who died October 13, 1906. To this union were born Leslie B. Brown, Mechanicsville, Iowa, Mary J. Fike, Goodland, Kan., Calvin Brown, Utah, Percy Brown, Esmond, South Dakota, Maude Hammond, Merrill, Iowa, Earl Brown and Mabel Brown, Pierre, South Dakota.
In 1907, Mr. Brown retired from farming and came to LeMars to live. On August 18, 1909, he was united in marriage with Miss Pearl Morse, of this city, the wedding taking place at Billings, Montana. About two years ago they moved to Pierre, South Dakota, and engaged in farming near that place. Besides the wife and children the deceased leaves a number of near relatives to mourn his loss, Geo. Brown, of Red Oak, Chauncey Brown, Sterling, Ill., Martin Brown, Artesian, South Dakota, Josephine Stinton, Akron, Susan Putnam, West Plains, Mo.
Mr. Brown was widely known in Plymouth County and had a large circle of friends. He was an exemplary citizen, a good father, husband and neighbor. He was a faithful attendant to the Methodist church. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to those less fortunate than himself. Mr. Brown was a member of the Woodmen of the World and Modern Brotherhood of America societies.
