MISS BROWN DEAD
Miss Emma Brown, for many years an estimable citizen of Potosi Township died December 30 at the home of her niece, Mrs. A. F. Babcock, and family in Lawrence. She had been an invalid at the Babcock home several years. Friday morning the remains were brought to this place accompanied by Mrs. Babcock and daughters, Misses Mildred and Marjorie, and Miss Maud Ellsworth. At 2:30 that afternoon funeral services were held at the home of her niece, Mrs. J. F. Eby, conducted by Rev. Leo Howard, pastor of the First M.E. Church of which organization deceased had been a devout member many years. The remains were then taken to the Pleasanton cemetery and all that was mortal of this good woman was tenderly laid to rest by the side of her parents and other dear ones who preceded her.
