Brownlee Saturday. Of the circumstances surrounding the many deaths that have occurred in Villisca and vicinity during the past several days, the saddest of all are those in connection with the demise of Harry S. Brownlee, of southwest of town, who answered death's call before the arrival of the remains of his son Estey, who died of pneumonia on board the U.S.S. DeKalb on October 5. Mr Brownlee was seriously ill with Spanish-influenza when the sad word came concerning the death of the son, and the sock proved partly responsible for the death of the father, which took place last Saturday morning. The funeral was held in the North Page cemetery Monday afternoon at 2:30 and the body laid to rest there, the services having been conducted by Rev Graham, pastor of the United Presbyterian church at Hepburn. Harry Stewart Brownlee was born in Johnson county, Missouri, July 19, 1873, being 45 years, 3 months and 7 days old at the time of his death. When about eight years old he was bereft of his parents and from that time until his marriage made his home with his uncle and aunt, Mr and Mrs James Pollock, who lived in the North Page neighborhood. At the age of eleven he became a member of the United Presbyterian church there. When 21 years of age he was married to Miss Jennie Wood, September 26, 1894. To this union seven children were born, Addie, Estey, Myrtle, James, Glenn, Dean and Dorothy, all of whom are living except Estey, the youngest being seven years of age. Mr Brownlee will be seriously missed in the home, where he was a kind husband and father; in the church, where he served as an elder in the session and a teacher in the Sunday school; and in the community, where he was a useful and respected citizen. VILLISCA REVIEW, Villisca, Iowa, Nov 1, 1918 Harry Stewart Brownlee was born in Johnson County, Mo., July 19th, 1873. When he was about eight years of age he was bereft of his parents, and from that time until his marriage made his home with his uncle; and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. James Pollock who lived in the North Page neighborhood in Page County, Iowa. At the age of eleven he confessed Christ as his Savior and became a member of the United Presbyterian Church of North Page. At the age of twenty one he was married to Miss Jennie Wood Sept. 26th, 1894. To this union were born seven children; Addie, Estey, Myrtle, James, Glenn, Dean, and Dorothy. For twenty four, years he enjoyed a happy domestic life as a farmer. On the 8th of Oct. 1918, Mr. Brownlee was stricken with Influenza which developed into a severe case of Pneumonia. The disease was doubtless aggravated by the sad intelligence of the death of his soldier son, Estey which occurred October 5th. The report of the son's death reached the father at a very critical time. Strong efforts were put forth to save his life, but on the morning of the 26th of October, his spirit took its flight to join his beloved son in continual praise and service of the Christ whom they both loved and served. Mr. Brownlee will be seriously missed in the home where he was a kind husband and father, in the community where he was a useful and respected citizen and in the United Presbyterian church of Hepburn where he served as an elder in the session and a teacher in the Sabbath School. Funeral services were conducted by his pastor, the Rev. W. F. Graham at the North Page cemetery at 2: 30 P. M., Monday, October 28th which would have been the 21st birthday of his deceased son. May the God of Grace comfort and support the widow and six fatherless children who survive him. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Oct 31, 1918 Harry Brownlee This community was made sad last Saturday, Oct. 26th, to hear flashed over the wires the news that one of our highly respected and honored citizens, Mr. Harry Brownlee, had lost his life by the dreaded Flu. He was a man universally liked and honored by all. He was a member of the United Presbyterian church of Hepburn, a ruling Elder in the church. He had a large Sabbath school class who mourn their loss. Only a few days before Mr. and Mrs. Brownlee had a cablegram telling of the death of their son Esty, who died on the great water's of the same disease on Oct. 5th. Only three weeks before, Esty was a good Christian soldier and made the supreme sacrifice for his country. Thus in three short weeks, the home and community has been bereft of two noble men. Their places here would be hard to fill. We commend the family to the kind and loving Heavenly Father who doeth all things well. They have the sympathy of the entire community in this sad bereavement. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Oct 31, 1918
