Atlanta Constitution, 21 October 1870
A Sudden Death.

We have the sorrow of recording the sudden death last night, of one of the 
worthiest Democratic members of the Legislature, Mr. William Brown, of 
Washington county.
He was found lying on the crossing between McBride's and Keely's, on Whitehall 
street, about eight and a half o'clock, P.M.  He had a bruise on the right side 
of his face about the eye.  The policeman who picked him up, remarked that here 
was a drunken man.  When on his feet, Mr. Brown remarked that he never drank.  
The policeman states that he said later that he often had a neuraligia in the 
head.  It is well known the deceased never indulged in liquor.  His property on 
his person was undisturbed.  He died about half after twelve in the night, 
without giving any further explanantion of his illness.
We have known Mr. Brown for years.  He was a genial, good gentleman, and 
universally beloved and respected at home.  We deeply deplore his sudden and 
mysterious taking off, and offer our sympathy to his bereaved family.
