Tuesday June 26, 1934 edition of Concord, NC, newspaper:

Brown-Funeral Was Held Here Monday Morning

The Well Known Concord Woman Was Laid to Final Rest in Oakwood 
Cemetery Yesterday

Mrs. Nannie Smith Brown, one of Concord’s oldest and most beloved women, 
died Saturday evening at 6:45 o’clock. Although Mrs. Brown had been ill 
for the past two weeks, her death came as a surprise. She suffered a 
stroke of paralysis about four years ago and never completely recovered. 

She was born on December 11, 1853, in Rowan county, the daughter of 
William and Sara Smith.

Before her marriage on April 17, 1888, to George W. Brown, member of a 
prominent Cabarrus family, she was the widow of M.A. Bencini, father of 
Mrs. M.M. Linker, with whom she was residing at the time of her death.

Mrs. Brown was a member of the First Presbyterian Church in which she 
played an active part up until the time of her affliction.

The funeral was held Monday at 11 o’clock. Dr. W.E. Davis, pastor of 
First Presbyterian church, officiated. Burial was in Oakwood cemetery. 

Pallbearers were Charles Porter, M.F. Ritchie, H.C. Warren, J.B. Linker., 
Dr. T.N. Spencer and O.J. Dayvault.  

Besides Mrs. Linker, two step daughters, Miss Mollie Brown and Mrs. H.W. 
Calloway, and four grandchildren survive.
