- "Milton" - Again it becomes our sad duty to chronicle
the death of an aged citizen.
- On Sunday night, Mr. Fitch BROWN, "Uncle"
Fitch as we all called him, died after many months of suffering.
Some time since he had a cancer removed from his lower lip and
ever since he has suffered from it, and while it may not have
been the immediate cause of death, hastened it. Deceased was
born in Connecticut and came to the county from Indiana in 1811
[1844]. He followed the calling of a farmer until his
removal to this village, and had the respect and esteem of his
neighbors. At the time of his death he was in his eighty sixth
year. He leaves the following sons and daughters: Deacon E. BROWN
and W. W. BROWN of this town, A. A. BROWN, Mrs.
J. F. DAVIDSON [corrected to Mrs J. T. DAVIS
in the next week's paper] and Mrs. G. W. HUFFMAN,
of Lima, Mrs. George CURTIS of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Joel
BROWN of Dodge Center, Minn, and Dexter BROWN of
Fairfield, Neb. A notice of the funeral will appear in the next
issue of this paper.
