- In Milton, Wis., March 18, 1885, of
Pneumonia, Mrs. Maleta [nee DAVIS], wife of
- Dea. Erastus BROWN, aged 54
years, 7 months and 16 days. She was born in Pike, Clark Co.,
Ohio, and came to Wisconsin when eleven years of age, and was
converted under the preaching of Eld. Varnum HULL. She
was married to Mr. BROWN, Dec. 31, 1850, and with the
exception of the first year, in Berlin, Wis., they spent their
married life in the town of Milton. During her last sickness
her suffering was intense, and she was conscious to the last
moment. She often expressed a wish to live for the sake of
her children, who much needed her, but would end by saying, "the
will of the Lord be done." She was a working member of
the Milton Junction Seventh-day Baptist Church, earnest and spiritual
minded. "Her children rise up and call her blessed; her
husband also, and he praiseth her." - Psa. 31:28. Her
funeral was largely attended, when a sermon was preached by her
pastor from 1 John 3: 23. N. W. [Vol. 41, No. 14,
p. 5]
