TRIBUTE FROM DR. FORD Died, of heart failure, consequent
upon pneumonia, March 8, 1901, John Brown, Sr., of Elmira. He “fell upon
sleep” unexpectedly, but his wide acquaintance and beneficent life leave
behind a host of consolatory memories. Born at Truxton, N.Y.; of Connecticut
parentage, April, 1824, he was while yet a lad left poor by the death of
both parents. Country schools, sixty years ago, furnished his education.
Chemung county in that early time, was just emerging from its pioneer age,
and John Brown ver soon made for himself a successful life-business, in
farming and lumbering. Years of labor and forecast with woods, mills, mines
and markets brought to him a modest, hard-earned fortune. Meanwhile he
had the good fortune to gain a noble wife, Miss Martha Wier of Southport,
and a family of children soon grew up in their industrious and intelligent
home. The good wife died but a short month ago, leaving a blessed memory;
and their children are all active and honored members of their communities.

STEPHEN BROWN DEAD At the old homestead at South Creek,
where he has resided for sixty-seven years, Stephen T. Brown died early
this morning. He was ninety years of age, and to few men is it given to
enjoy in quiet, peaceful happiness the love and esteem of all with whom
they come in contact, as was Stephen Brown. About a week ago Mr. Brown
was stricken with paralysis, and because of his advanced age was unable
to overcome the disease, death ending the unequal struggle at 3:30 o’clock
this morning. The deceased was born in North Hector, and in early manhood
moved to this section, where he married and settled on the farm at South
Creek, where he has lived for the past sixty-seven years. In 1892 a cyclone
destroyed the homestead, and another was built on the same site. He is
survived by his wife, now in the autumn of life, one son, George R. Brown,
lately superintendent of the New York Central Railroad; a grandson, Lucian
Brown, who is now in New Mexico; and a granddaughter, Mrs. James C. Balcolm,

the gospel has lost none of its power and that Christ can save from all
sin even here in this present life. Surely “The memory of the just is blessed.”
