Death of Asa D. Brown
Asa D. Brown died at his home four miles south of Excelsior, at half past three Saturday morning, Feb. 8, 1908, aged seventy years. Mr. Brown had been ill for four weeks with bronchitis which developed into pneumonia.
Asa Brown was born in Pennsylvania in 1838. He came west when a boy and lived in Excelsior at the outbreak of the Civil war. He enlisted from this town Aug. 8, 1862, in Company C., Sixth Minnesota Infantry, and served through the war. He was discharged Aug. 19, 1865. He returned to Excelsior immediately and the same year married Miss Susan Kempton of Eden Prairie, who survives him. They were married in Excelsior, by the Rev. Chas. Garvin. Later they moved to Minneapolis, and lived there 27 years.
Mr. Brown was a member of Bryant Post, G. A. R., and was also a faithful member of Joyce Memorial Methodist church. He organized the first Sunday school in that church and was an energetic worker in the church and Sunday school until failing health made it necessary for him to lessen his labors.
During his long residence in Minneapolis Mr. Brown was a contractor and builder. Eight years ago, feeling the old love of the country returning he closed out his business in Minneapolis and settled on a farm 4 miles south of Excelsior. The funeral was held from the Methodist church, Excelsior, Tuesday forenoon, the Rev. Donald McKenzie officiating. The remains were interred in the Excelsior cemetery.
