Portland Observer, 18 Feb 1885

Mr. John Brown, whose death was announced in our last issue, was born in the 
town of Bridgewater, Grafton county, New Hampshire, Sept. 15th, 1789; was 
converted at the age of 20 and united with the M.E. church soon after; two 
years later was married to Sarah Ingalls (who preceded him to the Glory Land 18 
years ago).  About five years after removed to South Hero, Grand Isle county, 
Vermont where he resided about 20 years, from here he removed to LaGrange 
county, Indiana, staying there but two years, from there he moved to the 
township of Danby, where he has resided until four years ago.  Mr. Brown moved 
to Ionia county, Mich. about 47 years ago, making him one of the pioneers of 
the county.  He was a member of the M.E. church nearly 75 years – a firm 
believer in all the doctrines.  He lived a consistent christian life and died a 
peaceful death at the ripe old age of a little over 95 years.
