Danielsville Monitor,  1 December 1944
REV. JOHN B. BROWN DIES; FUNERAL SERVICES MONDAY

   Deepest sadness enveloped our town and community at the passing of the 
beloved Pastor of Comer Baptist Church, Rev. J. B. Brown, last Sunday 
morning at an Athens Hospital, after a week's illness.
   Funeral services were conducted Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from 
the Comer Church, Rev. J. D. Matheson, of Thomson, Rev. J. C. West, 
Hart County and Dr. James C. Wilkinson, First Baptist Church of Athens, 
officiating.
   Burial was in Bethany Church Cemetery, in Hart County with nephews 
serving as pallbearers.
   Rev. Brown is Survived by his Widow, Mrs. Maude Brown; by two 
daughters, Miss Mattie June Brown, Comer; and Mrs. W. J. Ray, Danielsville; 
six sons: Captain W. R. Brown, Bryson, Texas; Rev. R. Cranfill Brown, 
Sandersville, Ga.; J. Fred Brown, Anderson, S. C.; George B. Brown, and 
Cpl. C. Mack Brown, both of the U. S. Army now serving overseas; and Rev. 
Leroy c. Brown of Woodbury, Ga.; a sister, Mrs. M. Greenway, several 
nieces and nephews; seventeen grandchildren and four great grandchildren.
   A native of South Carolina, Mr. Brown had served the Comer Baptist 
Church as Pastor for ten years.  He was called back last year and was in 
the midst of his eleventh fruitful year of service here.   To say that his 
congregation is deeply grieved barely expresses their love and affection.  
Many lives were inspired by his Christianity: his faith in god and his 
splendid example of Christian living.  To all he gave a kindly consideration 
never turning aside from one in need nor leaving an opportunity for service 
ministering to all in sickness and in sorrow.  Surely he will enjoy the 
Master's summons:  " Well done, thy good and faithful servant. "
