Ed Brown, who lived on the Dill farm, one and one-half miles east, and one mile north of the Pleasant Valley school house, died on Wednesday, February 7 after a long illness.
Br. Brown had been troubled with malaria nearly all summer and fall, and following this had contracted rheumatism. He finally took down with typhoid fever, from which he suffered about six weeks.
The deceased, whose full name was David Edward Brown, was born at Waverly, Illinois, April 9, 1872, and was 45 years old at the time of his death. He was married April 5, 1900, to Miss Bettie Carland and they came to Oklahoma eight years ago.
The deceased is survived by a father, a wife and three children, Effie, Vessie and Goldie. He became a Christian early in life and was a member of the Baptist church at the time of his death.
The funeral was conducted Thursday at the Morse cemetery by Rev. Gardner, of the Baptist Church.
After the funeral cortege reached the cemetery a message arrived from the father of the deceased, who lives in Illinois, requesting the body be shipped to him. The ceremonies had, however, gone too far for this request to be complied with.
