"The Carroll County Times"
Carrollton, Carroll Co., Georgia

NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, AUGUST 26, 1881

IN MEMORY OF S. M. BROWN

We, the committee appointed at the Tallapoosa musical convention, submit the 
following: 

Since our last meeting, Death has visited our musical family. Bro. S. M. Brown 
was born in South Carolina in 1811 and moved to Georgia in 1834 and in 1836 was
married to Miss Lucy Chandler. He never made any public profession of 
religion, but his walk and conversation imitated that of a christian. He was a 
dear lover of music. Just before his death he raised his hands toward heaven 
and said "I want to go up yonder." He breathed his last on March 29th, 1881. 
He was a kind father and an affectionate husband. He has left a kind wife, 
eight children and many friends to mourn his loss.

1. Resolved, that in the death of Brother Brown, the convention has lost one 
its best standards.

2. Resolved, that we would say to the children to try and imitate the steps of 
their father.

3. Resolved, that our prayer is that when we leave this land of toll we may 
strike hands with him beyond the river of Jordan.

4. Resolved, that we sing the tune "Span of Life" led by Bro. C. J. Cook and 
engage in prayer, led by Bro. T. L. Lassiter.

5. Resolved, that the proceedings be recorded on the convention book and a 
copy sent to the Carroll County Times for publication and request that the 
Cedartown paper to copy, and a copy be sent to the family of the deceased 
Brother.
