	ORRIN BROWN, son of Emery and Lucy Ann Brown, was born in 
Londonderry, Vermont, Sept. 1, 1833, died Sept. 16, 1898, aged 65 
years and 15 days.
	He came with his father's family to "Vermont Settlement" (now 
Orland) in 1836.  His father was a public-spirited man and 
contributed generously toward building up the town, and was 
especially interested in building the Orland Seminary.  It was at 
this school his boys ere educated.  Orrin Brown was noted for his 
scholarship in literature and music.  The former was acquired under 
the instruction of Profs. Harper and Gibson.  The latter while a 
pupil under Prof. W. T. Heath.  His mother died in his infancy, and 
he was he last of the family, except his half sister, Mrs. Ellen 
McGowan, of Portland, Oregon.  In his every day life he was quiet 
and unassuming and conspicuous for his love for home.  In 1864 he 
was married to Miss Emily Fuller.  To them was born one son whose 
home is in Chicago.  Mr. Brown had been an invalid for a number of 
years, but bore his sufferings uncomplainingly, sustained by 
believing that God, in answer to his prayers, would give him a life 
of blessed immortality beyond the grave.  A short time before his 
death he said, "this is a beautiful world and I would like to stay 
here a little while longer with my family, but God's will not mine 
be done.  And I have prayed that God in His infinite mercy would 
grant me an easy death."  That prayer too was answered, for he 
passed away as quietly as a weary child falls asleep on its mother's 
breast.  He leaves a widow and one son, and one sister besides other 
relatives and friends to mourn his loss.  Funeral services were held 
at his home on Saturday, Sept. 17, conducted by Rev. L. C. Hopple, 
pastor of he Baptist church, who preached an appropriate sermon 
which was a comfort to the afflicted widow and son as well as to his 
other friends.  He was laid to rest in Greenlawn cemetery, 
surrounded by flowers and evergreens furnished by his numerous 
friends.  So one by one the old settlers are passing away.  Soon 
none will be left to tell their story.
