Brown, 75, died 24 April 1917, at the home of our sister, Mrs. Cargill, near Frederick, Oklahoma. She was the daughter of Dr. Thomas Stewart and Mrs. Julia Brady Stewart. Emigrated from Illinois, 1855. Married Joseph Cates, August 1860, who died a few years ago. His one son, Mont Cates, survives him. She afterwards married Jacob Brown. Six children by that marriage survive her. Mrs. BrownÕs life was one of unselfish devotion to her home and family. She was weary, she had done what she could. God has called her. May we all meet her in heaven. We laid her body in the Markley cemetery beside her husband near her old home. Her sister, Mary E. Shown [her husband was one of the first settlers in this area]
