Notes - William A. Brown, 77 years old, a veteran of the Union Army in the Civil War, died suddenly of heart failure Saturday at Olive Hill. He was formerly of Rowan Co., where he served many years as Justice of the Peace. He had made three requests concerning his funeral and burial: the "America" be sung by the choir, that he be buried with the Stars and Stripes upon his coffin and that the coffin be a homemade one specifying the friend who should make it.
His second wife and three children survive him; Mrs. Jas. Waldeck, Ezel, Ky., the Rev. H. Clay Brown of Atlanta, Ind., and William R. Brown of Olive Hill.
