Mr. Brown has been in poor health for about a year, having suffered a stroke of paralysis.

Dak., living there with his wife and family until in 1916 when they came to this state, making their home at Hat Creek.

He was a member of the Masonic and Odd Fellow orders and also of the Modern Woodmen of America, holding membership in all these organizations at Scotland, S.D.
