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. This |
