Brown who passed away shortly before noon Tuesday after an illness of bur a few days. Mr. Brown had been in poor health for more than a year, but most of the time was up and around and able to come to town. Last Friday Mr. Brown came to town in the forenoon, but complained of not feeling well. Late Friday night he was in considerable pain and early Saturday morning a doctor was called and his case was at once considered serious. Relatives were notified. Mr. Brown lingered until Tuesday forenoon when he passed to the great beyond. William O. Brown was born in Batavia, Illinois, on May 17, 1855 and died in Loup City, Nebraska, July 31, 1934 at the age of 79 years, two months and fourteen days. Mr. Brown came to Nebraska from Illinois in April, 1875 and with his parents located at the present home place just south of Loup City. He farmed on the place adjoining the present place for a short time and later returned to the home place and has made that his home ever since. On December 25, 1894, he was united in marriage with Carrie Lewis, and to this union were born three children, Cornell H. Brown, Edith McIlravy and Lillie Mickow all of Loup City. There is also one step-daughter Mrs. Ethel Hiddleson of Alliance, Nebraska. Besides his children he his survived by his loving wife, one brother, R. J. Brown of Luana, Iowa, seven grand children, other relatives and a host of friends. Two brothers and one sister preceded him in death, E. A. Brown, who died December 22, 1922, C. H. Brown, March 3, 1911, and Jesse May Brown, January 18, 1882. Mr. Brown was a member of the I. O. O. F. lodge. He served on the county board for twenty-two years, and a part of that time was chairman of the board. He was a member of the board when the present court house was built. Mr. Brown never was defeated for office, and many times when he was on the ticket for Supervisor he had no opposition and the reason he retired from the board was because he refused to serve longer, feeling that nearly a quarter of a century was sufficient. Mr. Brown's name appears in the corner stone of the court house. His father, Rufus J. Brown, was the second sheriff of Sherman county. ..... The Sherman County Times - Aug 3 1934
