Judge L. W. Brown Dead - Prominent Western Citizen Passed Away at His Home in
this City Yesterday.

Friends of the grief stricken family in this city deeply sympathize with the
bereaved while hundreds of friends throughout the western states will be
saddened and feel a personal loss in the death of Ex-Judge L. W. Brown which
occurred at his residence 118 Tate Street in the city at 1 o'clock yesterday
afternoon after a lingering illness he being invalid for four years.  While
his death was not unexpected it comes as a great shock to many relatives and
friends.  Judge Brown's condition began to grow worse Sunday night and never
changed for the better.  All that skilled physicians and loving and tender
hands could do as done to restore him to health again but to no avail.

Judge Brown and family moved to this city just one month ago yesterday from
Winston-Salem where they had made their resident for two years having moved
there from Toledo, Oho.  They moved south in the interest of Judge Brown's
health.  While they have been residents of Greensboro only a short time they
have made many friends who deeply sympathize with them in the death of husband
and father.  Judge Brown played a very important part in politics in the
western states and was held in the highest esteem for his personal and
political integrity and statesmanship.

He was the American consul to Glasgow, Scotland under President Harrison and
his record there was a splendid one.  He was for a number of years Probate
Judge in his home sate.  He was permanent chairman of the Kansas City
convention which nominated Bryan for president in 1900.

He is survived by a wife, five sons and two daughters. The sons are:  Messrs.
Chas. M. of Cleveland, Ohio; Geo. C. of Wauseon, Ohio; Maynard D. of Clyde,
Ohio; Albert M. of St. Louis, Mo.; Walter C. of this city.  The daughters
Misses Wilma and Ruth of this city.  Mr. Maynard Brown arrived last night to
attend the funeral.  The other sons will not come as they cannot arrive in
time for the funeral services.

The funeral services will be conducted from the residence at 4 o'clock this
afternoon by Rev. Dr. G. H. Detwiler, pastor of West Market Street Methodist
church.  The remains will be interred in the Green Hill cemetery by the Blue
Lodge of Masons, the Knights Templar acting as escort.  Judge Brown was a
member of the Knights Templar for thirty years.

Only wishing I could have know my great-grandfather and knowing I couldn't
have gotten this far without him!  Submitted with much love and appreciation
for family roots established by my ancestors:  Maggie Brown Moerdyke
