Susan Brown was born January 15, 1838; died August 23, 1911, aged 73 years, 7 months and 8 days. She was married to Jont H. Brown on November 19, 1865.
The union was blessed with 5 children, 2 boys and 3 girls, one having died in infancy. Four still survive to mourn the loss of a mother. She professed faith in Christ and joined the Baptist church at Meat Camp September 3, 1866. Some years later she moved hie membership to Three Forks where she remained till the death angel came to carry her soul to its mansion to await the resurrection morn. She lived a devoted, Christian life and was so generous and true that she was often visited by her friends. She was a patient sufferer for some years, but her afflications worked for her a far more exceeding and eternal glory, she was often praying, "Jesus yake me out of this world of suffering." The morning before she died her son was talking of going home. She called him to her and said " Ira, if I am gone when you get back, I want you all to meet me in heaven."
Since her death her husband was heard to say that during theif long married life, she never spoke a hard-word to him. The interment took place on the 24th amid a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends, who came to pay their last respects to the good woman. The funeral was preached by Reverend Isaac Miller, assisted by Reverend J. M. Payne and the writer of this sketch from the text: "O, Death, where is thy sting; oh, grave, where is thy victory?"
Let us continue to extend our sympathy to brother Brown and the dear children who have had to yield to the hand of an all wise God, who knoweth best.
