Death of Mr. John W. Brown
Mr. John W. Brown died at the residence of his son, Mr. James H. Brown, on Second avenue, at 5 o'clock yesterday morning.
Mr. Brown was born in Hancock county, Georgia, on the 15th day of April, 1799. He removed to Glennville, Russell county, Alabama, in 1835, when the Indians still inhabited the country. He engaged in the pursuit of farming until just before the war, when he moved to Summerville, nearer the city, in Alabama, where he resided until his last illness, when he was brought to the residence of his son, where he could receive the attention of his children. Mr. Brown was more generally known as "Uncle Jack," and was one of the original stockholders in the Eagle and Phenix, with which institution he has been connected for over twenty-five years. He never connected himself with any church, but was an honest, warm-heart man, who had many friends, and did what he conceived to be his duty to his fellow-man.
Mr. Brown has five children living-Mr. James Brown, Mrs. Lou Walker, Mrs. Virginia Ivey, of this city, and Mrs. Dr. G. D. Connor and Mrs. E. C. Perry, of Glennville, Ala.
The funeral will take place from the residence of Mr. James Brown, on Second avenue, at 9:30 o'clock this morning.
