- March 25, 1892 Edmond Brown, age 77 years, Farmer, born in New York, Son of Daniel and Sally Brown, died in Richland Township of urine poison. Newspaper Obituary - April 1892 Pulaski Democrat - After a short illness of about two weeks, Edmund Brown, one of the older and most prominent farmers of this town, separated this life, on Saturday last, March 26, 1892, aged 77 years. Mr. Brown was born in a log house locates near where A. Twitchell's house now stands, on the lake road, and about two miles west of this village. He was the oldest child of nine in his father's family. Of these, Gustavus Brown, of Traverse City, Mich.; Mrs. C. D. May, Mrs. A. L. Twitchell, and Mrs. A. D. Champney, all of this town, survive him. Deceased was married in the year 1866 to Mrs. Candace Spaulding, a widow lady with one son, Charles. Three children were the result of this happy union, Ansel W., Carrie C., and Edmund Jr., all of whom survive their father. During his early life, Mr. Brown and his brother, Ansel, now deceased, were extensively engaged in the business of hauling seine along the shore of Lake Ontario. The whitefish catch in those years was something enormous and the resulting profits were correspondingly large. After a time whitefish practically disappeared from these shores, and then the deceased turned his attention to farming. He was a large land owner at the time of his death. We presume that deceased did not know himself just how much land he did own, but it is quite certain that he held the deeds to fully, if not quite 1,500 acres. Mr. Brown was quite well preserved for a man of his years. He was very pleasant in his intercourse with his fellows, and upright and reliable in all his ways. He was one of those men who will be missed not only in the circle in which he moved, but by our townspeople generally. The funeral was held at his late residence, a very pretty home located less than a mile from where he was born, on Tuesday, March 29th, Rev. A. Bramley officiating.March 25, 1892 Edmond Brown, age 77 years, Farmer, born in New York, Son of Daniel and Sally Brown, died in Richland Township of urine poison.
