ELIZABETH A. BROWN

[Welland Tribune, 10 December 1897]

Mrs. William Brown of Marshville, died at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. George Anderson, near St. Catharines, on Monday, 6th inst., at the age of 55 years and 6 months. Her fatal malady was an affliction of the throat, from which she suffered for several months. Mrs. Brown’s maiden name was Elizabeth A. Tims; she was born at Port Robinson in 1842, the daughter of H.W. Tims, who afterward moved to Suspension Bridge and died there during the cholera epidemic at that place. From the time of her marriage to the late William Brown up to last September, when she went to visit her daughter, Mrs. Anderson, she lived in Marshville. She was a consistent devoted member of the Church of England, active in all good works and charities, endearing herself to the whole community of which she was a member. Her late husband, William Brown, county councillor, died on the 29th of March last. Two daughters survive to mourn-Mrs. A.B. McLean of Marshville and Mrs. George Anderson of Grantham. The funeral took place on Wednesday, from her home, Marshville, at 10.30 a.m., services by Rev. A. Bonny in Christ church, interment at Morgan’s cemetery, a very large attendance certifying their love and respect for their departed friend by attendance at the obsequies and heartfelt condolence with those who mourn.
