Mrs. Fannie L. Brown was born December 2nd, 1844, in Ashe County, North Carolina and died November 6th 1901, at her home near Dark Ridge, aged 56 years, 11 months and 4 days.
As old time passed on with the sharp scythe in his hand, our friends ever and anon must fall before the relentless scythe. Our good sister has fallen in the row of ripening grain and has fallen before Death's sharp sickle.
Fannie L. Blackburn, as was he maiden name, was married December 6th, 1868, to John C. Brown, moved to this part of the county in 1881, at which place she lived until her death.
She professed faith in the Lord at an early age and united with the Methodist church, which she has ever honored and her light did so shine that all around her could observe her good works.
The country has lost a good pious woman; the husband a kind, loving companion -- a true helpmeet; the children a fond mother, which time and affection can never replace. But weep not sorrowing ones she has just gone on before to receive her reward.
