Brown had lived on this pioneer ranch 34 years. The funeral will be conducted Wednesday at 2 p. m. at the Yarwood Undertaking parlors in this city and interment will be made in the Okanogan cemetery. Deceased was past 81 years of age. He was born February 29, 1840. Consequently his birthdays occurred only on leap years and he took occasion to celebrate these events by inviting all his neighbors in. Every four years the old timers gathered for the quadrennial picnic, which was very often held in the snow, as at that time of year snow generally covers the ground at the elevation of the Brown home. Benjamin Brown was born in Iowa and at an early age drifted west to California where he engaged in mining. In that state he was married and moved to this section in 1887 with his wife and three sons. His wife died 25 years ago and the sons have moved away and for several years past the old man lived alone on his place. The surviving sons are William Brown of Arizona; Isaac Newton Brown, whose address is unknown, and Charles Brown of Spokane. The latter was present at the time of his father's death. Ben Brown belongs to the old class of trail blazers whose efforts have made it possible for the present day generation to enjoy the benefits of civilization in this far west land. He was not much of a man to co-mingle with the later generation of new arrivals in the country, but among his old friends and neighbors he was popular and held in highest esteem.
