Ionia Sentinel Standard, Thurs., Jan. 24, 1929
After a companionship of 58 years, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Brown were separated by 
death but four days. They have resided with their daughter, Mrs. Charles 
McMannis, for several years and here Mrs. Brown Died last Saturday and Mr. Brown 
died Wednesday at 10 o'clock. Both have enjoyed good health but both were 
growing weaker under the strain of their years and this weakened condition 
coupled with an attack of flu which both suffered recently was more than their 
frail constitutions could stand. On Friday afternoon the second mound will be 
made in the family lot in the Woodard Lake cemetery, where Mr. Brown will be 
placed beside his wife. The services will be conducted from the home of Mrs. 
McMannis Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock by Rev. Herbert G. Furrell.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Brown were natives of New York and started their early life in 
that state. Thirty-five years ago they come to Michigan and have made their home 
here since.  Besides their daughter, Mrs. McMannis, they leave another, Mrs. 
James Younger of Ronald.
