Grant Brown
Grant Brown died last Sunday evening. He suffered untold agonies for three or four days. He had his hand crushed in a sheller which was the beginning of the awful ending. Grant has been a model of industry. He has built a reputation equal to any in the vicinity. He was always busy, never idling away the golden moments. The funeral services were held in the M. E. church, of this place. Rev. Coolidge preaching the sermon. The M.W.A Camp took charge of the remains and laid them to rest in the Roberts cemetery. About eighty Woodmen marched in solemn procession from the church to the grave. He, the youngest in the order, was summoned first take up his abode with the innumerable hosts of heaven.
