Virginian Pilot Tuesday January 31, 1905
Capt. Samuel Brown, known by the majority of Berkley people, died at the 
home of his daughter, Mrs. Kate Ansell, yesterday morning at 7:30 o'clock, 
after an illness of pneumonia since last Tuesday morning.
The deceased was about seventy years of age and was born in Chowan County, 
N.C., and moved to Berkley about fifteen years ago.  He had the distinction 
of being the first and last man to drive the horse cars on the Berkley 
street railway and he was proud of the fact.
The funeral will take place this afternoon at 3 o'clock.  Rev. J.A. Ramsey 
will officiate.  The interment will be in Magnolia Cemetery.
Captain Brown was not actively engaged in business for several years on 
account of his age.  He leaves a widow and an adopted daughter, Mrs. Ansell.
