MARY OSLER BROWN

  Mrs. Mary Osler Brown died at 7:30 p.m., on Saturday, September 27, in the 
Frantz Hospital.  She was aged 60 years, 2 months and 23 days. Although in 
delicate health her death was very sudden, she being taken seriously ill one day 
before her death.
  Mrs. Brown was born in Henry Clay Township, Fayette County, Pa., on June 4th, 
1870.  She was a daughter of John N. and Emily Osler.  She was married to James 
Ross Brown in January, 1887.  She is survived by her husband and the following 
children: Mrs. Hanna Hayden, Mrs. Rosa Seymour and Albert Brown, Pittsburgh; 
Mrs. Bessie Snyder, Stoyestown, and Robert Brown, at home.  One child died when 
young, 30 years ago.  She is also survived by seven grandchildren and three 
great-grandchildren, and the following brothers and sisters:  M. R. Osler, 
Confluence, and Charles E. Osler, Connellsville, and by two half-sisters: Mrs. 
Ethel Hensel, Connellsville, and Mrs. Jennie Tressler, Confluence.  She was a 
resident of Confluence the greater part of her life.  She was a member of the 
Methodist Episcopal Church and Sunday school, having joined the Johnson Chapel 
congregation when young, and united with the Confluence church after moving 
here.  Her whole life was devoted to her home and family and to the service of 
God.  The funeral services took place at the family home at 1:30 p.m., on 
Tuesday, Rev. Howard W. Jamison, her pastor, assisted by Rev. Daniel E. Hartman, 
pastor of the Confluence Baptist Church, officiating.  Interment was made in the 
Johnson Chapel cemetery where there was a short service with Rev. Hartman 
officiating.  The floral tributes were very beautiful and numerous, attesting 
the high esteem in which Mrs. Brown was held.  The pallbearers were her two 
sons, Robert and Albert Brown, two grandsons, Harold Hayden and Floyd Hayden, 
and two sons-in-law, Albert D. Hayden and Elmer H. Snyder.  The Confluence Boy 
Scouts, of whom Robert Brown, a son of the deceased lady, is Scoutmaster, turned 
out in a body, and six of their members acted as flower bearers.  Undertaker C. 
B. Humbert had charge of the funeral arrangements.
