Turner Once again the Grim Reaper has passed over our home country, pausing in his flight to call home another of our respected and worthy citizens. Enoch B. Brown, a relative and also as a lifelong friends, has answered the final summons home, leaving another vacancy in our citizens that will be hard to fill. I have known Enoch Brown as a boy in his teens; as a youth attaining his majority; as a young man establishing a home and family, and during the past decades I have admired him as an honest, charitable, unassuming citizen, loved and respected by all who knew him. A man with a kindly, sympathetic, charitable, heart, when but a young man he reared and provided for a number of small orphaned children, (brothers and sisters of his wife) in addition to his own large family, without a murmur or complaint. Few men have been more charitable than Enoch Brown as all his neighbors and friends will tell you. A better neighbor never lived and he numbered his friends by his acquaintances. Always a kind, loving, indulgent, father, his children were the pride and joy of his life and he leaves to them a heritage that should be more highly valued than gold: “love, kindness, and charity.” For many years, Enoch had been afflicted with any incurable malady, and knowing full well what the ultimate end, he never gave up, but continued to carry on his daily work, cheerfully and without complaint. He was a born farmer, devoted to the cultivation of the soil, which he fully enjoyed. Worn, weary, afflicted, after a long live of usefulness and good deeds, done in his unostenious way, Enoch has laid down the burdens of why and gone to his long unawakened sleep. May his sleep be the quiet, peaceful sleep of the blessed, sleep which he so dearly deserved. My sympathy goes out to his bereft children and other relatives.
