The Belding Banner, Wednesday, December 19, 1923


Sylvanus Daniel Brown was born in Syracuse, N.Y., on May 1, 1856 and died at 
the home of his daughter, Mrs. Robert McConnell, in this city, on December 13, 
1923.  In the year 1879 Mr. Brown was united in marriage to Miss Emma Bricker 
and to this union were born three children, Mattie, now Mrs. Robert McConnell; 
Rena, now Mrs. L. A. Gleason, and an infant son who was born in 1888, who died 
at the age of only a few days, his mother passing out of earth life at about 
the same time.  

On December 24, 1890 Mr. Brown was united in marriage to Miss Clara Henry, of 
Stanton.  To this later union one daughter, Ida, was born.  She died at the age 
of four months.

Fraternally, Mr. Brown was a member of the I.O.O.F., belonging to lodge No. 92 
and also of the Modern Woodmen of America.  He was a good neighbor and was held 
in the highest esteem by all who knew him.  He lived in Belding from the time 
of his first marriage, until 1907, when he moved from here to Muskegon, where 
he resided until a few weeks before his death, when he came to the home of his 
daughter, Mrs. Robert McConnell, to spend his few remaining days.

Surviving are the widow, the two daughters before mentioned, ten grandchildren 
and a host of friends in both Belding and Muskegon, who mourn in his passing 
the loss of a true and loving husband and father, neighbor, friend and citizen 
of the highest character and type.
