MAX BROWN.

  Mr. and Mrs. Melborne A. Brown who have been residing at 329 Fifth 
avenue with their four children - Clare, Baird, Max and Jennie, were 
surprised last Friday by receiving a telegram that Max, their third 
son, aged 11 years, who had gone to Worthville, Jefferson county, to 
spend several weeks of the summer with relatives, was seriously ill.  
Upon arriving at the side of their son, on Saturday, Mr. and Mrs. Brown 
found him unconscious and fast nearing the end of life.  Max had eaten 
choke cherries which resulted in a painful cramped condition, 
terminating in his death yesterday.  Mr. and Mrs. Brown are members of 
the Second United Brethren church, this city, and Max was a faithful 
attendant at the Sunday school of the same church.  He was a most 
loveable and dutiful boy and greatly endured [endeared] himself to all 
who came to know him.  The funeral will be held in the neighborhood of 
Worthville.  Mr. U. M. Weaver and wife, in whose home Mr. and Mrs. 
Brown reside, depart this morning in company with Samuel Clare, the 
oldest son, to attend the funeral.
