Major General Jacob Jennings Brown
(b. 5 May 1775 - d. 24 Feb 1828)
Range 57 Site 150-152
General-in-Chief of the Army of the United States.
The National Intelligencer, February 25, 1828
The painful duty devolves upon us of announcing the decease of Major General Jacob Brown, Commander in Chief of the Army of the United States. He expired at his residence in this city, yesterday, after a brief illness of three or four days, preceded by a general indisposition of longer duration.
His name is too intimately interwoven with the history of his country, to make it necessary for us to accompany this annunciation with any reference to his public life or services. His individual merits are too universally appreciated to need to be blazoned by the pen of eulogy. At a future day we shall endeavor to do justice to his eminent desert as a soldier and citizen, and to hold up to his fellow-citizens, in their proper colors, the example of his illustrious deeds and his blameless and virtuous private life.
The Funeral of the deceased friend will not take place, we learn, before Wednesday; so that every opportunity will be afforded to pay due honors to his remains.
