EMMA BROWN
MRS. E.G. BROWN (EDGAR GOULD)
[Welland Tribune, 8 December 1910]
In the sudden death of Mrs. Emma Victoria (Goring) Brown, on Saturday, November 26th, Thorold township lost one of its best known and highly respected residents. She was born on April 6th, 1863, in the township of Grantham, to Captain Francis Goring, and married on October 3rd, 1888, to Edgar G. Brown, in the parish church at Homer, by the Rev. J. Ardell, in which church she had been for many years a Sunday school teacher, and one of its most earnest workers.
Besides a sorrowing husband, seven children survive to mourn their loss,-Mabel, LeRoy, Edna (Nettie), Stanley, William, Raymond and Teressa, all of whom are living at home.
The funeral, which was private, took place on Monday, Nov. 28th, from her late residence; interment being made at Fonthill.
The simple service of the Anglican church was read by the Rev. Wm. P. Lyon, rector of Holy Trinity church, Fonthill, of which church the deceased had been a staunch member since residing in the township.
Six Sir Knight Templars, of Plantagenet Preceptory, A.F. & A.M., of St. Catharines, attended as pall-bearers.
Mrs. Brown was one of those exceptional womanly characters, whom the world can ill afford to lose-a truly devoted wife, and mother; a friend to all who chanced to cross her path in life; but above all else a devout Christian woman. Her name will long be cherished in our midst, for to know her was to love her.
