Brown, Lillie (Vantrease)
Sister Lillie Brown (nee Vantrease) was born on September 20, 1878; obeyed the gospel, under the preaching of Brother E. G. Sewell, in April, 1893; was married to Charles Brown on December 26, 1901; and died on August 24, 1903. Her death cast a cloud of gloom and sorrow over the members of the congregation with which she worshiped, and all the people of the community were greatly moved by the loss of one for whom they had such profound respect--a noble, Christian woman, whose life and character were of the highest type. Yet amid the shadows there was light, and mingled with sorrow and grief was joy--the light and the joy of which the angels sung: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." (Luke 2:14.) Our sister's life, though brief, was grand and glorious; it seemed to have filled the measure of God's purpose and passed into a higher state of existence. Let us all try to live so that we, too, shall die triumphantly in the living faith.
