Mrs. Brown, "Grandma Brown" to her friends, would have observed her ninety-eighth birthday March 19. Born on a farm near Maquoketa in 1859, she was the youngest of 12 children of Armstrong and Mary Hawkins. Until last year Mrs. Brown had been very active. Failing eyesight for the last few years hampered her activities. She believed that hard work never hurt anyone and said, "I can't remember when I was too small to work." Mrs. Brown was orphaned at 8 when her parents died in an epidemic which followed the Civil war. After her marriage, Mrs. Brown accompanied her husband, John I Brown, to Kansas in a covered wagon. For many years they lived in a sod house, plugging the windows up at night with pieces of sod and removing them in the morning for ventilation. Prairie fires, drouth, wind and grasshoppers discouraged the homestead venture in Kansas and they returned to Jackson county, Ia., to reside. Mr. Brown died in Cedar Rapids Dec. 17, 1914. Mrs. Brown's only son, Okley A. Brown, a Cedar Rapids merchant, died Jan. 3, 1954. Mrs. Brown was a member of the Marion Christian church and of the Christian Women's Fellowship of that church. Surviving in addition to her daughter, with whom she resided for many years, is her daughter in law Mary Brown of Cedar Rapids. Services: Sunday at 2:30 p.m. in Murdoch chapel by the Rev. Roy P. Fields, jr. Burial in Oak Shade cemetery. Daughter of Armstrong and Mary Hawkins. First husband was Ed Courtemanche
