D. Carl Brown

Death of Carl Brown
D. Carl Brown died 20 October 1899, of typhoid fever.
He was the oldest son of Mr. And Mrs. D.C. Brown, and was one of the most promising young men of the town, being in every sense of the word a gentleman. He was a member of the Methodist church and lived the life he professed. His business opportunities which had been good had been well improved, making of him a business man far beyond his years. His friends were many he having won the esteem of all with whom he came in contact. Being the oldest son he was the favorite in the family and his death caused an irreparable loss.
The funeral services were held at the Methodist church and as the sun went down behind the horizon Saturday his remains were borne to Oakwood cemetery and laid beside his grandmother who, years ago, was at the head of every good work in Jacksboro, the family being one of the few old families which came to this place in the early days.
In their bereavement the parents have the sympathy of a host of friends not only in Jack county but many settlements of North Texas where they are well known.

In Memory of Carl Brown
D. Carl Brown was born in Jacksboro 30 October 1880 and died in Jacksboro 12 October 1899. Not quite 19 years in this busy world, this young life passed peacefully into that higher and nobler life after a brave and heroic struggle and while his years were yet full of hope and promise. He was good Ð always good, amiable, kind, warm-hearted, generous and gentle as a woman. He was a Christian and a member of the Methodist church. 
In the home circle with father and mother and brothers and sisters, he was a diamond, a sparkling gem of rare beauty.
Tenderly he was borne to Oakwood cemetery and lovingly laid to rest by the noble young men who knew and loved him.
Farewell, my dear young brother.
