DISCREPANCY re date of death: McBrides say 29 March 1880, but obit says 27 March 1880. ===== BROWN—Third month 27, 1880, at his residence near Rainsboro, Highland County Ohio, Elgar Brown, Sr., a member and minister of Hopewell Monthly Meeting of Friends. He was born in Virginia on the 27th of Eighth month, 1797, and came to Ohio when a boy with his parents, who settled in Highland County, where he has ever since resided until his death. He was unusually active and energetic for one of his age until about a year previous to his last sickness. His disease after a few months affected his mind. During the early part of his sickness he was greatly concerned that he might leave nothing undone that was required at his hands; he felt that his time to labor was nearly over and often said in looking back over his life that, although he had in his feeble way tried to serve his Master faithfully, yet he felt that he had done nothing to merit salvation. Before he lost his ability to think and speak rationally of spiritual things, he told his children who were with him that he had given himself and all his interests into the Lord's hands and he knew he would do all things right; and while reason remained unclouded he rejoiced in the prospect of a home in heaven. His last months were those of much suffering and although his reason did not revive again yet we feel that he is at rest at last in the Father's house. —Christian Worker (New Vienna, Ohio), May 20, 1880, pp. 249-250.
