Notes:
David T. Brown, son of Henry and Emiline Prewitt Brown, was born July 29th, 1860, and after gradual failing health departed this life Jan. 27th, 1938, age 77 years, 5 months and 28 days.
He was united in marriage to Miss American Reynolds, March 17th, 1883, who preceded him in death, June 21st, 1920. To this union three children were born. Surviving him are two daughters, Miss Bessie Brown and Mrs. Mary Dail, one son having died in infancy. Also left to mourn his passing is one granddaughter, Nanelee Dail, and a cousin, Mrs. Mattie Gardner, of Linneus.
David T. Brown was born one half mile north of the home in which he lived for so many years and reared his family. All of his life has been spent in this vicinity with the exception of four years in Howard county when a small boy. He is the last of a large family of brothers and sisters. “Uncle Dave” – as he was affectionately known to us all, was a find living husband and father, ever loyal to his family. Although advanced in years he was still young in spirit and his home has ever been a pace of hospitality and pleasure to a legion of neighbors and friends.
He united with the Church of Christ many years ago. His passing is an irreparable loss to the community in which he has spent a long and useful life.
Services were conducted by Rev. E. John Myers and burial was made in the Elmwood cemetery under the direction of the Thorne Undertaking Co. of Linneus.
Mrs. Julia Vencill, Mrs. Gladys Meyers and Misses Lucille and Marjorie Jerome sand two of Uncle Dave’s favorite sons, “Nearer My God to Thee,” and “God Be With You Till We Meet Again.” Rev. and Mrs. Meyers sang, “The Lily of the Valley.”
