FRANK (PAPPY) BROWN

  BUFFALO MILLS, Feb. 9 - On Tuesday morning, Feb. 2, the citizens of Buffalo 
Mills and surrounding community were greatly shocked when they heard of the 
sudden passing of Frank (Pappy) Brown.  He was found dead in his rocking chair, 
by his son, Clinton Brown who, on his way to work, stopped in to see his father, 
only to find that he had succumbed to a paralytic stroke.  About six years ago 
he suffered a stroke which left his right arm paralyzed and since had several 
light strokes.  He had been around as usual on Monday, but complained of not 
feeling well.  His wife had gone to spend the night with her daughter, Mrs. 
Berle Huffman.
  Mr. Brown was an all-around man, efficient at nearly all kinds of work.  He 
teamed and was employed as a hostler for a number of years.  He also was on the 
road selling medicines and extracts.  After he had no further use of his right 
arm, he did but little work other than chores about the house.
  "Pappy" Brown, as he was called by nearly all who knew him, was an upright 
citizen and a kind and devoted husband and father.  He was kind to all children 
and much liked by them.
  He leaves to mourn his departure, his devoted wife and the following sons and 
daughters:  Mrs. Edward Waugaman, of Johnstown; Harry Brown, of Buffalo Mills; 
Mrs. Berle Huffman, Buffalo Mills; George Brown, of Mann's Choice, and Mary 
Brown, who is employed in Johnstown.  Two sons and two daughters preceded him to 
the grave some years ago.  He also leaves six grandchildren, one great-
grandchild.  His age at the time of his death was 71 years, 7 months and 7 days.
  The funeral was held on Thursday afternoon, being conducted by Rev. William 
Garlinger.  His remains were laid to rest in Blue Ridge Cemetery at Buffalo 
Mills, Thursday afternoon.
