Death Claims Gerald Brown

Gerald K. Brown, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry J. Brown, died at his parents' residence at twelve o'clock Sunday. Early in the autumn, he went to New York city to accept a business position, and had already established himself in the confidence of his employers by his capacity and faithful attention to duty. About six weeks ago he became ill and, although he was given the best of care under the direction of the most skillful medical attendance, his disease could not be arrested.

There are few if any of our young men who are better known or who have a larger circle of friends than Gerald Brown, and his death is a shock and cause of profound grief to our whole community. His cheerful, buoyant spirit, his high determination and splendid courage stand out all the more conspicuously now that it seems probable that he for a long time, perhaps from early childhood, had been battling with the malady which has carried him away. He was one of the first of the boy sopranos who have been developed in St. Andrew's choir and for years he gave boundless delight with his sweet voice.

The hundreds of friends of Mr. and Mrs. Brown sympathize with them with heartfelt sorrow in their great loss.

The burial services were held Tuesday at 3 p. m. in St. Andrew's church.
