WELL KNOWN LAWYER PASSED AWAY SUDDENLY SUNDAY NIGHT
End Caused by Paralysis of Throat - Came to Carthage in 1871 From New York

Paralysis of the throat, which caused strangulation, was the immediate cause of death, although Judge Brown had been ill for nearly a week with bronchitis. His health for the past two years had been poor, as he was bothered with attacks of coughing. Until he was taken sick last Monday, he was in ordinary health.
Judge Edmond Orlando Brown was born November 1, 1847 on a farm near Hinsdale, NY where he lived until he was 17 years of age. He then enlisted as a private in the First Independent Battery of the New York state volunteers for service in the rebellion.
He served in the army until the close of the war, the ending coming 17 months after he had enlisted.

When the war closed the young soldier returned to New York and began reading law in the town of Cuba.
Afterwards he attended the law school in Buffalo, where he was admitted to the bar in 1868. A year later he came to southwest Missouri and settled at Lamar, where he engaged in the practice of his profession. He had come west in response to the request of W. H. Phelps, whose former place of residence had been in New York, near the Brown home. Two years later the Lamar attorney came to Carthage and formed a law partnership with Col. Phelps. These professional relations continued, save for a few years intermission, until 1900.
In 1874 Judge Brown, at the age of 27 years, was elected judge of the common pleas court in Carthage. After serving one term he retired to renew his law practice with Colonel Phelps.
Since 1871 he has made his home in Carthage and was a member of the bar until his death. His last law partnership was with R. A. Mooneyham, the two attorneys forming a firm the first of the present year.
For six years previous to this Judge Brown had practiced law independently.
Aged Mother Survives
In 1876 he married Miss Angie Garner, who survives him. One child was born of their union, Mrs. Lucille Peugnet, who makes her home with her parents on South Garrison avenue. One brother and two sisters also survive the deceased. They are Francis M. Brown of Haskell Flats, NY; Mrs. Warren Phelps of Cuba, NY. and Mrs. Charles Shaffer of Olean, NY.
