Brown (1840-1893). Daughter of Thomas McCausland Burnau and Lydia (Aughee) Burnau. Sarah was the mother of at least five children with Marshall - Nora, Sadie, Laura, Daniel and Thomas Brown. Sarah and Marshall were married October 11, 1859 in Noblesville, Hamilton, Indiana. She died at age 54. Obituary from, The Memphis Reveille, Memphis, Missouri, 23 Dec 1897, p. 2, col. 2: "At Rest Mrs. Sarah E. Brown (nee Burnau) died at her home in this city, of a complication of diseases, Sunday, Dec. 19, 1897, at 10:45 p.m. after a lingering illness, aged 54 years, 5 months and 16 days. Deceased was born in Ohio, July 3, 1843, and was married to M. M. Brown, in Noblesville, Indiana, October 12, 1859. Of this union five children were born, two of whom preceded the parents to the spirit land. The surviving children are Mrs. C. B. Stark, of Wayne County, Iowa, Dan R. Brown of Grant City, Mo., and Miss Laura Brown, of this city. In March, 1869, they moved to Wayne County, Iowa. Her husband died Sept. 13, 1893, and was buried in Wayne County. The following December she removed to this city, where she resided until summoned to her reward. He father, mother, six brothers and five sisters survive her. The father is a minister in the Christian Church and Mrs. Brown professed religion in childhood and lived a consistent Christian all the days of her life. She lived in the parsonage of the M. E. Church, South, two or three years after moving to Memphis and joined that church when the Rev. C. O. Ransford was pastor and made his home with her. For many long years she had been a great sufferer, but in all her affliction she was patient, cheerful and sweet spirited. When the end came it was a release. She had waited long for the final summons and at last her wish was gratified. “God’s finger touched her and she slept.” She is at rest now in the enjoyment of the full fruition of her hope and faith in life. Heaven’s gate is always ajar to receive the spirit of a Christian mother and Mrs. Brown surely had a triumphant entrance. She was a good and kind neighbor, a loving and indulgent mother and her life was a benediction to all who knew her. Funeral services were held at the family residence Wednesday morning, Rev. P. F. Campbell officiating after which the body was taken to Corydon, Iowa, for interment." (Obituary kindly provided by Findagrave member Linda Brown, #47388779.)
