Mr. Brown was a Royal Arch Mason, a member of the Beeville Chapter No. 191. Since making Palacios his home, he had been unable to do any work and has spent much of his time at the sport he loved so well, fishing. In this recreation he has made many friends who shall greatly mourn his going. The homelife of the Brown family has been an inspiring one. The devotion of the members of the family, one for the other, their simplicity and sincerity of living, in a hurried age, will lend stability and character to the children through the years to come.

He was struck suddenly about Dec. 18 with pneumonia, which, with the weakness resulting from the former illness, proved too much for him, and he passed away, as stated, Dec. 31. Funeral services were held on Tuesday, Jan. 1, at 10:30 a. m., in the Central Baptist Church, of which Mr. Brown was a member. An obituary notice and a more extended account of the funeral services will be given in next week’s Beacon. Palacios Beacon, January 3, 1929 W. A. Brown W. A.
