Brown, former Carnegie resident for many years, died at the home of her son, Claude, Wednesday after returning to Carnegie only the Saturday before her death to again make this her home. Mrs. Brown suffered an attack of inflammatory rheumatism, which spread to her heart. She was stricken about ten days before her death but had sufficiently recovered to make the trip from Henrietta, Tex., to Carnegie. Funeral services were conducted at the Methodist church Friday afternoon at two o'clock and the remains were laid to rest in Carnegie cemetery. Rev. W.E. Robinson, pastor of the First Methodist church of Anadarko, preached the funeral sermon.
