BROWN, Max Crandall Lester [The Bolivar Breeze, Th., 12/26/1918, p1c6] – FUNERAL NOTICE
[large header partially missing] "…Passed Away at Tulsa on …, …day, December 19, Aged 18
Interment at Richburg
Max Crandall Lester Brown, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Brown died at their home in Tulsa, Okla., on Thursday, December 9, having just reached his 18th birthday on December 14. Death resulted from typhoid pneumonia which followed an attack of influenza. Even though confined to the bed for a period covering nearly six weeks and his condition very low, he was within a few days of his passing out apparently on the road to recovery when a reaction occurred to which he succumbed.
Max was an ambitious young man and showed decided developments along business lines. He was employed in the store of F. M. Stone at Richburg for several months prior to leaving for his new home in Tulsa in September.
He attended the high school in Tulsa until the schools were closed on account of the epidemic and at the time of his illness was employed in a large grocery house.
His genial manner made him many friends which bespeaks only too well of his devotion to them, and especially those of his own beloved home circle.
He leaves to mourn his untimely death his parents, one brother, R. M. Brown, a half-brother, Lyndon M. Brown of New York, and his greatly beloved grandfather, Crandall Lester, also an aunt, Mrs. W. A. Thomas of Olean, who was constantly by his bedside, and helped to tenderly care for him, and three uncles, Ralph E. Lester and J. Herbert Lester of Richburg, and Ward A. Lester of Irvine, Ky.; also his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Brown, with an aunt, Mrs. James McLaughlin of Riverside, Cal., together with a host of friends.
A short prayer service was held at the home in Tulsa Friday afternoon before leaving for the east, attended by former Richburg and Bolivar friends.
The funeral services were held at the Lester home Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Mason of Delevan officiating, being assisted by Rev. Harry of Bolivar. The text was chosen from the sixth chapter of Job, second and third verses, "Oh, that my grief were thoroughly weighed and my calamity laid in the balances together! For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea; therefore my words are swallowed up." Two solos, "Sometime We'll Understand" and "A Perfect Day" were beautifully sung by Mrs. Arthur Brands of Bolivar.
The remains were laid to rest beside those of his grandmother Lester, in the Richburg cemetery.
The pallbearers were R. E. Lester, J. H. Lester, Paul W. Lester, Donald T. Lester, W. A. Thomas and Floyd M. Stone. The floral remembrances were many and beautiful showing he high esteem in which the deceased was held.
The loving sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved parents., who so keenly feel the hand of affliction at this time.
Those from out of town in attendance at the services ere: T. A. Richardson of Hornell, Mrs. Estella Richardson, Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Richardson of Andover, William J. Richardson, Mrs. Katherine Johnson and Mrs. Barney Gee of Wellsville, Mrs. Murry Collins of Olean, with many friends from Bolivar."
