BROWN, JOHN WESLEY
(22 Sep 1922, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
John Wesley Brown of Elk City passed away last Sunday, September 17, with
many dear ones and friends doing everything possible for his comfort.  He
was a native of Texas, born in McCullough county May 22, 1857.  He spent
his boyhood in Colorado, was a pioneer stockman in Eastern Oklahoma,
witnessed the opening of Chickasha as a station, was a charter member of
the Chickasha Christian church more than thirty years ago.  He was a life
member of the K. of P. and the I.O.O.F., and in good standing with the
Elks and Rebekahs.
Mr. Brown was kind-hearted company - a successful business man with his
fellow men.  He moved to a farm south of Elk City in 1911 and to Elk City
two years ago.  He knew the end was near and had made preparations.  His
mother died one year ago and he mourned her loss greatly.
Those left to cherish his memory are many dear friends and his wife,
daughter, Marie, and two step-children, Ruby and Alonzo, one sister in
Oklahoma City and two nephews.
