Daughter of W.S. & S.A. Brown
From the Newkirk Democrat-Herald, 8 September 1905
A Fatal Accident.
On Tuesday morning Aug 29, the whole community was shocked on learning that Irene, the three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Brown of Mervine, had accidentally shot herself. The child in some manner discharged a rifle; the ball entering the back passed through the left lung and came out at the neck. Dr. Karsner was called but it was too late, she was bleeding inwardly and all the doctor could do was relieve her suffering. She sank rapidly until 2 p.m. when respiration ceased. Mr. Brown away from home at the time, he was immediately summoned but could not get there until after death had claimed his dear one. On Wednesday the funeral sermon was preached, Rev Turner officiating, after which the remains were followed to the Jenkins cemetery and there laid to rest midst the tears of sorrowing friends. Little Rene was a sweet child, to fair for this earth. God plucked the bright blossom and took it to himself. Dear parents, brothers and sisters an aching void has been made in your hears that never can be filled, but time will soften your grief. A sweet angel awaits your coming; in the years that come she will watch over her dear ones here, and when God calls them to himself, Rene's angel form will guide them to their eternal home. [Olive Irene Brown is buried in Wolf Creek Cemetery. Born 19 August 1902. Died 29 August 1905.]
