In Memoriam

Wm. P. Brown was bom at West Walton, countj' of Norfolk, England, December 31, 1813; diedathishomeinthetown of Ann Arbor, Mich , August 31, 1890, after a severe ïllness of ten days. He carne to this country at the age of twenty-three. In a diary we found the following linea from his pen: God bless the land where I was bom, I blees the huid that led me here ; God bless my uew, adqpted home, And bless me while I sojourn here. He experienced religión at the age of sixteen, andjoinedtheWesleyanchurch in Engliind, and was connected with the Methodist church at Ann Arbor, Mich., flfty-two years. He leaves a widow and four children (two sons and two daughters) to mourn their loss. His genial, kindly nature won for him a large cirele of friends. He had words of chear and encouragement for all that were in trouble, and to many who were in need has he reached forth a helping hand, with more substantial aid. His consistent, uprigh t Ch ristian character is a legacy worth more than any earthly possessions to bequeath to his children. As a faithful, true husband, a kind and loving father, we deeply mourn his loss. We know that to him death is the beginning of a higher life. Asleep in Jesus ; far from thee Thy kindred and their graves may be, But thine is still a ble&sed sleep Frem whieh none ever wake to weep. ' W Alvah Traver, eminent commander, Thomas II.
