Frank Cunningham of the local Christian church conducted the services. 
Mrs. Brown had been strong and well, despite her more than 80 years, until a few weeks before her death, when her health failed suddenly. She had been bedfast but a short time, gradually growing weaker until the end came. 
Deceased was born in Johnson Co., Missouri, January 12, 1844 and when a child of six came across the plains with her parents, who settled near Sublimity. Nancy Hause was married to Jay Brown, and they moved to Kings Valley, residing in that section and the Pedee country most of their married life. Mr. Brown passed away several years ago, and Mrs. Brown has made her home in Dallas for some time, coming to live with her son here about three months ago.
Besides her son, Wallace T. Brown, Mrs. Brown is survived by a brother, John Hause of White Swan, Wash., a sister, Mrs. Ed Snipes of Glenwood, Wash; and two nephews, Charles Short of Dallas, and John Short of Lebanon. Mrs. Brown lived a full, useful life and made many friends by her unselfish disposition. She had been a member of the United Brethren church since childhood.
