Brown, the subject of this notice, was born in the State of North Carolina Aug. 12, 1822; departed this life April 3, 1887, in this (Smith) county, near Red Spring Church. Bro. Brown professed religion and joined the M. E. Church, South, in September, 1871, under the ministry of that precious man, John S. Mathis. Bro. Brown, though advanced in years, made a useful man, and served most of his religious life as steward and church conference secretary. I was his pastor for four years. Bro. Brown always looked after his preacher's welfare, and at his place, when not sick, or family. When the final end came he was ready, and said he was going to heaven. May God bless his many relatives and friends, and help them meet him in heaven. C. H. Smith
