Mrs. Georgia A. Brown

On July 15th the Death Angel visited the home of Archie D. Brown and
claimed for its victim the mother.  She was born March 17th 1871, making
her stay with loved ones 56 years, 3 months and 28 days.  She was
married December 24th 1890 to Archie D. Brown.  To this union was born 9
children:  Mrs. Henry Chumbley, Mrs. Tom Akers, Harry H. Brown of
Christiansburg, Mrs. L.C. Blevins, Misses Blanch, Jennie and Eulalia
Brown, Gilbert, W. Va., Mrs. Joe Smith, Elbert, W. Va., and James R.

Blacksburg, Mrs. Bob Haislip, Salem, Va., four brothers, Robert Bingham,
Blacksburg, Charlie Bingham, Princeton, W. Va., Tom Bingham, Gilbert, W.
Va., and B.L. Bingham, Fort Monroe.  Besides the husband, a host of
relatives and friends are left to mourn her sad death.

The funeral was conducted by her pastor Rev. A.L. Young, at Cambria
Baptists Church Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.  She was laid to rest
in the family plot in Blacksburg Cemetery.  She had been a member of the
Baptist Church since early life, was a kind and loving friend to all
whom she met.  Never was there a day too dark for her to do a kind deed
for those who needed her help.  Her place was never vacant at church and
Sunday School until she got so ill she could not go.  For two years she
lingered with not a murmer of being afraid to die, she was ready to go.
How sad it is to lose such a friend as dear mother, but God doeth all
things.  well she is living now where she will have no more suffering
and pain to bear, and each and every one of the loved ones she left
behind will look forward to the same God, He will carry you through just
as he does all things of his will.  "Oh God" help us live the life dear
mother did, so we can meet her over on yonder shore.

Oh mother how we miss you
   We long for you each day.
Home has never been the same,
   Since you were called away,

We know that all is well with you
   We know you are at rest.
God called you for some purpose
And he doeth what is best.

When the dear God fashioned mothers
The heavenly gates flund wide
   Out poured their thousands of wonders
Within her heart to abide.

And earth was made for ever
   One with that heaven above,
For the grace of God is shining
In the glory of mother's love.
   -Written by one who loved her.
