(19 May 1910, Erick Altruist, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
Mrs. Cintha Minerva Richardson Brown died evening, May 8, 1910, at 6
o'clock, was born April 3, 1846 (sic), in Missouri and lived to be 63
years, 1 month and 5 days old.  She was married to Thomas P. Brown in 1866
(sic) and to them were born eight children - 5 boys and 3 girls - and all
are living and were present at her bedside, with the exception of one, who
could not come.  She had been seriously sick for about two weeks, but had
suffered more or less for 8 years, bearing her afflictions patiently and
cheerfully, even during her last illness.
She was converted and joined the Methodist at 18 years of age and a
consistent christian life until her death.  She faithfully served her Lord
and Master - revealing the principles of christianity and making special
effort to teach her children the way of life and salvation.  Her Godly and
exemplary christian influence will abide in the family and in the
community in which she lived.  She was a kind, indulgent mother - loving
her children tenderly and affectionately.  Their welfare seemed to be her
chief concern.  For them she toiled and sacrificed and often spoke of how
much she was gratified in being permitted to live long enough to raise her
children until they were old enough to take care of themselves.  She was a
kind, good neighbor, always ready to accommodate and assist her neighbors
in any way that she could.
Deceased leaves a husband, eight children and other relatives and a host
of loving friends and we share their griefs and sorrows and extend unto
them our deepest, heartfelt sympathies; but the greatest consolation we
can extend is that Sister Brown with God and there awaits the coming of
her friends and loved ones.  Her Pastor, H. L. Mauldin.
