JAMES W. BROWN
We regret that we have occasion to record the demise of James W., eldest son of James M. and Adelaide Brown of this city. Deaceased was born at Fort Supply, Wyoming, (then Utah) Territory on the 22nd of June, 1856, being at his death (25th September 1883) 27 years, 3 months and 3 days old.
In the fall of 1867, his father came with family to Ogden and has resided here ever since.
James W. was an industrious, hardworking man; he followed the plastering trade for the last ten years. Two or three years ago, he went to Montana and worked several months at his trade and while there he caught a severe cold which finally resulted in his death.
In June last, at the death of his brother Adelbert, his physical condition was so reduced that the trouble rendered him entirely incapable of laboring. A high fever seized upon him and lasted for several weeks. James seemed to be conscious of the near approach of death and would often make remarks about it.
The cause of his early demise was lung disease, though there is a difference of opinion as to the real nature of it. Some pronounced it consumption, while others say it was typhoid pneumonia; however, it is not hereditary, it being caused entirely through exposure.
Little need be said of the moral character of Brother James W. Brown, as he was known in this community to be an honest, truthful and straight forward young man, liberal in contributing his means to relieving the needy and distressed.
The funeral services were conducted by Bishop B. C. Critchlow at the residence of his father, on South Main Street, on the 27th of September. Many friends and relatives assembled to pay a last tribute of respect to the departed. The speakers were respectively Elders Jas. Burch, G. R. Hill and William W. Fife; also President C. F. Middleton and Bishop B. C. Critchlow.
All spoke in the highest terms of Brother Brown, they having been acquainted with him from his infancy. Many words of consolation were given to the bereaved family. The services concluded with singing an appropriate hymn and prayer by Brother James Burch.
The coffin containing the ramains of Brother James W. Brown was then placed in the hearse of Mr. Frank A. Gale and headed by the Fourth Ward Band (to which James formerly belonged), followed by many carriages, was conveyed to the cemetery and laid away in the silent tomb, where Brother James will "rest from his labors" until the trumpet shall sound, when he will come forth and be reunited with his relations and friends in the bonds of eternal happiness, never more to be separated.
We sincerely console with the bereaved parents and brothers and sisters in their great affliction that has come upon them, that of losing two of their promising sons and brothers in the short space of four months.
In conclusion the friends and relatives heartily thank the Band and their numerous friends who so readily rendered that assistance which, on such occasions, it so timely.
