BROWN, Edwin, Medford (Oregon) Mail, Friday, 21 Mar 1902: For several
months past Mr. Edwin Brown, of this city, and a member of the mercantile
firm of W. H. Meeker & Co., has been in very poor health and for two or three
weeks past little hopes had been entertained for his recovery, and death came
Tuesday evening, March 18, 1902.

Deceased was born in New York state July 8, 1849. When only eight years of
age his parents moved to Minnesota, where he grew to manhood. In 1862 he
enlisted in the army and after three years of hard and valiant service he was
honorably discharged. On April 24, 1877, he was married to Miss Clara M.
Coyle. He and his family came to Oregon in 1888, and after residing in
Roseburg for one year, came to Medford, where they have resided ever since.

Mr. Brown was converted when he was thirteen years old and united with the
M. E. Church. He leaves a wife and son to mourn his demise and to whom is
now given a full measure of sympathy in this their sad hour of affliction by a
sorrowing community. Bert Brown, his son, is a traveling salesman for a St.
Joseph, Missouri, wholesale house and was in Missouri at the time of his
father's death, hence could not reach here to attend the funeral.

Funeral services were held at the family residence in West Medford on
Thursday afternoon of this week, Rev. W. B. Moore presiding. Interment was
made in Odd Fellows cemetery.
