MISS MARIETTA BROWN

A lifelong resident of Woodbury and vicinity and one of Morrisons cove's best 
known church and Sunday school workers, died at the home of her brother Harry 
K. Brown, in Woodbury, Sunday evening at 10.30 o'clock.  Death was attributed 
to heart failure.  She was apparently in the best of health on Sunday and spent 
the day with a number of invited guests and was stricken only shortly before 
she passed away.  She was born on the Brown homestead at Woodbury, Dec. 10, 
1855, the daughter of Abram and Mrs. Mary Keifer Brown, both deceased.  She was 
a member of the Woodbury Church of the Brethren and always took active part in 
the work of the church and Sunday school.  Her Sunday school work was untiring, 
being a great favorite with the young people and she was devoted to the work in 
meetings for the young people.  She is survived by the following brothers and 
sisters: Mrs. Sara Replogle of Roaring Spring, Rev. Jacob K. Brown of 
Martinsburg, Philip K. Brown of Waterside, Mrs. Annie Miller of Curryville, and 
Harry K. Brown of Woodbury, at whose home she died.  A sister Mrs. Lydia 
Strayer, and brother, Mr. Charles I. Brown, are deceased.  Funeral services 
will be conducted  in the Woodbury Church of the Brethren Wednesday afternoon 
at 2 o'clock, in charge of her pastor, Rev. J. E. Roland.  Interment in Dry
