BROWN.-Nancy Melvina Wheeler Brown was born in Hancock, Mass., Nov. 1, 1836, and died at her home in Farina, Ill., Dec. 6, 1897. She was married to Russell Albertis Brown in 1855. They made their home in Massachusetts for about twelve years, when they moved to Farina, which has been their home ever since. Her husband departed this life Jan. 14, 1895. To them were born three children; one a daughter, who died in infancy, and two sons, Frankie and Harvey. Frankie was called from this life about twelve years ago, thus leaving her only one son, who survives her. She was baptized and united with the Farina Seventh-day Baptist church in 1872. During the past year, while her health was failing, she enjoyed in a special way the presence of her Saviour.
