STEUBEN REPUBLICAN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5, 1899, page 1, column 6

SAMUEL WRIGHT BROWN, 18 Mar 1823 - 21 Mar 1899 (picture included)

   The subject of the above sketch died at his home in Salem 
township, Steuben county, Indiana, March 21, 1899, after a brief 
illness, aged 76 years and 2 days.
   With his father's family, he came from the state of New York to 
this county in 1836, and had lived since that time in the same 
neighborhood.  After a married life of more than half a century, his 
wife, Elizabeth Wilson Brown passed to the better land.  Their five 
sons died in childhood and the only daughter, Mrs. I. S. Parsell, 
remains to feel the loss of the father.  Since young manhood he has 
been a member of the Presbyterian church.  Quiet in manner, but 
abounding in good deeds; of few words, but with a sympathy as broad 
as human sorrow and suffering; living in his daily life the 
teachings of the Christ.  He will be missed in the home and 
neighborhood.  Not one is left to take his place.  The funeral was 
at the Block church, Wednesday, March 22, conducted by Rev. F. M. 
Kemper, of Angola.
