Friends Mourn Death of Mrs. J.S. Brown, Howard

Our neighboring city, Howard, was veiled in sadness Monday, June 23rd (the date
 should be June 3rd), occasioned by the death and funeral service of Mrs. J.S.
Brown, a life-long citizen of that town.  Mrs. Brown was stricken with paralysis
several weeks ago, and for several days thereafter, hope was entertained for her
recovery, but a second stroke a few days ago blighted that hope, and physicians
and loved ones knew it was only a question of short time as to the final
summons, which took place at 2 o’clock Monday morning.

Mrs. Brown was the second companion of Mr. Joe S. Brown, the well-known depot
agent at Howard, he having been in that service for more than 40 years.  Mr.
Brown’s first marriage was to Miss Savannah Lloyd, whose death occurred several
years ago.  He then married Miss Augusta Lloyd, the twin sister of his first
wife, and whose death cast a gloom over the entire town.

Mrs. Brown was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C.A. Lloyd, formerly of this county,
and sister of Dr. W.F. Lloyd, who was a prominent minister in the South Georgia,
Texas and Kentucky conferences of the M.E. Church South.  She was a life-long
member of the Methodist church having her membership with the church at Howard.
 She was true and loyal to her church and the cause of Christ.  She was
approached one time by one of the Stewards of the Howard church and when told
what she was assessed for the church she said, that it was not enough and had
the Steward to raise the assessment to a higher figure.

The floral offerings were not only beautiful, but expensive, attesting to the
high esteem in which she was held by many friends.  The funeral service was
impressively conducted by Rev. L.A. Harrell, of Butler, assisted by Rev. J.T.
Adams, uncle of the deceased; business houses of the town, during the funeral
service, were closed in respect for her memory.

The following nephews of Mrs. Brown acted as pall-bearers: Messrs. W.M. Brown,
John H. Brown, O.O. Brown, Rod Brown, Lewis Brown, all of Howard and E.C. Brown,
of Macon.

Mrs. Brown was in the 59th year of her age and besides her broken-hearted
husband, she leaves one sister, Mrs. Stella Ramsey, of Quitman, Ga., two uncles,
Mr. P.M. Adams, of Savannah and Rev. J.T. Adams, of Butler, Ga., and quite a
number of other relatives who mourn their loss.
