Mrs. H. F. Brown, of this city, who has been ill for the past twelve weeks, died at her husband's residence on Madison Avenue last Thursday at 11:30 a. m. of palagra, we are informed. Mrs. Brown was ill some weeks ago, but was reported to be improving, when one of her children were taken with typhoid fever, and with a mother's care, although sick herself, she attempted to nurse him, and relapsed. Her illness became rapidly aggravated, and notwithstanding the careful nursing and efficient medical service given she died, with the resignation of a christian.

Mrs. Brown was a daughter of the late Hon. Samuel Philips, representative of Coffee County for a number of years, and was raised up near Ambrose, where she has a host of friends and many relatives, her mother included, to mourn her loss. She was a devoted wife, kind and loving mother, and leaves a husband and four children that will miss her as she sleeps in the silent tomb. She was also a conistant member of the Methodist church, and an active worker in the ladies department of that church.

After a service at the house Friday morning, the pall bearers and a large concourse of friends on foot and in vehicles followed the remains to the depot for shipment to Ambrose to be interred in the New Hope cemetery, where lies her father and many relatives. Peace to her ashes.
