Zephaniah Brown, residing six miles west of Lafayette, in Shelby Township, this county, died on last Saturday night, after a lingering illness, of old age, and was buried yesterday in the Hebron Graveyard, in Wabash Township.
Mr. Brown was one among the oldest citizens of our county, he having moved here in 1827, and was eighty-seven years old on the 25th day of last February. He was born in the State of New Jersey and came from there to this county when there was but three log cabins where now stands the city of Lafayette. He leaves a large family behind, one son, George H. Brown, who is now a Representative in the Legislature, from Jasper County. He had accumulated a handsome sum, and at his death was the owner of about six hundred acres of land. He was a devoted Christian until his death, and a member of the Methodist Church for more than seventy years. His funeral sermon was preached in the Baptist Church, near the graveyard, by the Rev. Mr. Chamberlain, of the Montmorency Circuit.
