Death of A.C. Brown.
A. C. BROWN, one of the best known citizens of North Harper county, died at the
home of his son-in-law, A.J. TITUS, in this city last Sunday evening at 8
o'clock. Mr. Brown has been at the home of his daughter since some time in
January and has been confined to his bed most of the time. During the winter his
condition became so serious that his daughters who live in Nebraska were
summoned, but he rallied later and up to within three days or four hours of the
time of his death, was cheerful and in good spirits. A neighbor from near
DuQuoin had been in to see him and they had planned how Mr. Brown would go up
home this week if the weather was nice. He was taken suddenly worse in the
afternoon and the end came with scarcely any warning. His wife and daughter,
Mrs. A.J. Titus, were with at the time of his death, there not being time
sufficient to summon other relatives. Mr. Brown was afflicted with cancer of the
stomach, and had been here for treatment, and until Saturday had be!
 en thought to be improving. He lived near DuQuoin, and was a gentleman of many
friends and no enemies. He was greatly admired and respected by his neighbors
and friends and was revered for his many excellent traits of heart and hand. He
was a kind and loving husband and father and his home life was an ideal one and
the members of the family are indeed bereaved. The many friends of the family
will join us in sympathy and condolence. In this connection we furnish an
obituary prepared by Rev. David INCHES.


Obituary.
Mr. Alexander Clark BROWN died at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. A.J. TITUS, in
Anthony, April 24, 1898, at about eight o'clock. 
Mr. Brown was bron in Pinckeyville, Perry county, Illinois, February 19, 1833;
was twice married, first to Miss Sarah FRENCH in the autumn of 1856. Some years
afterward she died, leaving a husband and two daughters, now Mrs. Mary Jane
WHITLEY and Mrs. Clara S. FOSTER, who are still living, the one in Palmer and
the latter at Archer, Merrick county, Nebraska. His second marriage was with
Mrs. Mary Jane BROWN in 1864. Of this marriage five children were born, four of
whom died in infancy, and one Mrs. Cordelia A. TITUS is living, who with her
mother and two stepchildren, Mr. Alexander Scott Brown and Mrs. Margaret F.
CRIG, mourn his loss. Mr. and Mrs. BROWN moved from Illinois to Harper county,
Kansas, in the spring of 1884 and have lived in the neighborhood of Duquoin
every since.
Mr. Brown was a devoted husband and indulgent father and an honored citizen. He
united with the United Presbyterian church of Hopewell, Illinios in 1852; was
one of the charter members of the U.P. church at DuQuoin; was chosen and
ordained an elder in that chruch at its organization and sustained that relation
to the church at his death. He has ever been devoted to the church and faithful
in his work for the church and anxious to see the church prosper and build up
and become established. He led an earnest christian life, felt preparted for
death and leaves behind him evidences of his acceptance with the Lord.
The bereaved wife and children, above named, have the sympathy of all who know him.
David Inches, Pastor.
