Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, September 14, 1939 Mexico Independent - Mexico, New York - Mrs. Brown was the mother of the late Earl L. Brown. Her other children, Curtis F. Brown and Jessie M. Beck, accompanied the remains from their home in North Miami, Florida where she died. She wanted to be buried beside her husband in the family plot in the cemetery at Daysville, New York. Services in memory of Mrs. Brown were also conducted at the Van Orsdel Mortuary in Miami, Florida. The fine tribute of Rev. Mr. Partee, a close neighbor for thirteen years, the profusion of flowers and the company of attending friends attested the esteem with which she was held. Mrs. Brown is well remembered by a wide circle of friends in Mexico and neighboring towns. Her gracious ways and capability won the appreciation of all with whom she came in social or business contact. She was always helpful to others in every emergency where she could do something. She was born January 22, 1853, near Daysville, New York, daughter of Lyman and Eliza Loomis, pioneers who lived there in the days when the route to be followed to Mexico was indicated by a line of marked trees. Her husband, Florence L. Brown, was also born near there. They were married early in life, and the young couple soon had an opportunity to acquire a store and stock of goods in Daysville. They enjoyed prosperity there for many years. Their children were all born there. Mrs. Brown was greatly interested in church work there, and enjoyed particularly the pastorate of Rev. C. E. Miller, then a young man, who later became District Superintendent of the Oswego District. They were finally burned out completely, did not rebuild, and moved to Syracuse, where they lived for a few years. With her husband, Florence L. (deceased in 1914) and their son, Earl L. and his wife Lulu, later located in Mexico, bought and remodeled the building known by the older residents as the "Simpson's Block". and opened up and operated with much success "Brown's Department Store" at the corner of Main and South Jefferson streets, for several years prior to its occupancy by the "Victory Store" and "Market Basket Store." The residence on Church street was remodeled into a double house and became the home of the two Brown families. During recent years Mrs. Brown has resided with her children, Curtis F. Brown and Jessie M. Beck and in the home of G. E. Lindsley, all of whom have lived in North Miami, Florida, since before the destructive hurricane there of 1926, which they all passed through. Mrs. Brown reached the rip old age of 86 years, 7 months and 12 days; has enjoyed good health for all of her years until the last few months and particularly the last few weeks, during which she had such care as her children and others could give, when some of the complications of advancing old age caused a quick breakdown from which she died, the certificate of death being hardening of the arteries. Besides her children, Mrs. Brown leaves a granddaughter, Emma Roberts and two great-grandchildren of Cleveland, Ohio, and a grandson, Robert Born, son of Earl and Lulu Brown of Mexico, and a niece, Mertie McFee, wife of Ed McFee and their children, Harold, Leon, Curtis McFee, and Mrs. Lulu Irwin, all of Mexico. Also two nieces, Mrs. Nina Krick of Pulaski and Miss Edith L. Ripsom of Washington, D. C. Among those from out-of-town who attended the funeral services held for Mrs. Emma Brown Friday were: Mrs. Henry Beck of North Miami, Florida, daughter of Mrs. Brown; Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Brown, also of North Miami; Mr. and Mrs. Adrian Roberts of Cleveland, Ohio; Mr. and Mrs. Henry Evans of Floyd, New York; Miss Edith I. Ripsom of Washington, D.
