Hattie M. Brown, daughter of Thomas and Mary Matilda Brown was born July 1, 1880 at Glenwood, Iowa.
She had lived all of her life in Mills County, or Glenwood, gaining her education in the schools of the city. For many years she served the electorate. This year, had she completed the term, would have made 28 consecutive years as an elected County Recorder of Mills County. Preceeding this, she had served for ten years as deputy recorder and clerk part of the time working for her brother Walter as deputy. Her county work began in 1912.
She was always accurate, honest and efficient. She tried to help the people to the very best of her ability. And her faithfulness and dependability will be remembered by many folk who knew her and worked with her. How well she did this is attested by the fact of her long tenure of office as servant of the people and the high esteem accorded her by all.
Besides her regular work she was active in other organizations of the community. She was faithful member of Grace Methodist Church, a member of the Pythian Sisters and the Rebekah lodges, a staunch member of the Business and Professional Women's club.
This summer she became ill and was hospitalized for a while, but was able to resume her work in the Recorder's office. Then about ten days ago she became seriously ill and from this she never recovered, passing away on Nov. 26, 1951 at the Jennie Edmundson Hospital in Council Bluffs.
Surviving are two sisters, Mrs. Grace Pelham of Crab Orchard, Nebraska, and Miss Nellie Brown, at home in Glenwood; nine nieces and nephews and many other relatives and friends who will mourn her departure.
Five brothers and two sisters preceeded her in death. They were T. A. Brown, Samuel, Walter, Lyle, and Clyde, and Mrs. Maude Goheen and Clara, who passed away in infancy.
Miss Brown lived her life as an open book before the people with whom she resided. She was always ready to oblige, and be of service to all. She will be sadly missed in her accustomed place at the Mills County Courthouse where she worked so long.
Those from out of town who attednded the rites were Mrs. Mary Rathe, Waterloo, Iowa; Mrs Robert Cook, Erie, Penn.; Mrs. John Pelham and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Smith and Leon, all of Crab Orchard, Nebr.; Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Pierce, Lincoln, Nebr.; Mr. and Mrs. Roy Crook, Lewiston, Nebr., Mrs. John Sutter, Verdigre, Nebr.; Mr. and Mrs. Robert Pope, Elk Creek, Nebr.; Mrs. Dwight Weigel, Beatrice, Nebr., and Mr. and Mrs. Martin Wilkerson, Tecumseh, Nebr.
