Death of James Brown.

  James Brown, a veteran of Lititz, died on Thursday afternoon, January 
2.  Deceased was stricken with paralysis more than six weeks ago, from 
which he never recovered.  He was born in Manheim, but resided in 
Lititz for many years.  He went into the army as a substitute for a 
Warwick township farmer, and served in Co. A, 16th Pa. Cavalry, from 
October 30, 1862, to August 11, 1865.  Mr. Brown was 76 years old last 
July, and was the oldest member of Stevens Post, G.A.R.
  Mr. Brown was almost fifty years of age when he entered the army, and 
was, therefore, not subject to the draft.
  The funeral will be held on Sunday, at 9:30, at the house.  He will 
be buried by the Grand Army.  The funeral sermon will be preached in 
the Lutheran church by Rev. Lewars.
