The Portland Observer, Thursday, December 20, 1923

Becoming alarmed over the absence of her aged husband, Saturday evening, Mrs. 
Herman Brown, of Sebewa, went to the barn where he had been doing the chores 
and found him lying unconscious on the barn floor, where he had fallen from 
the haymow, striking on his head and fracturing his skull.  He passed away 
about two hours later.

Mr. Brown was Sebewa’s oldest pioneer resident.  He was a veteran of the Civil 
war and would have been 85 years of age the 23rd of this month.  His parents 
moved to Sebewa when he was less than one year old, and he had resided 
continuously on the farm which they wrested from the wilderness for over 84 
years.

The only near surviving relative is the widow, I. A. Brown, a brother, having 
passed away several years ago.  Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon.
