Leverett Brown.
On Monday morning the sad intelligence was received in this city that Leverett BROWN, son-in-law of Colonel J. J. Kelly, had died in Indianapolis on the night previous of lung fever, after an illness of eight days. On the Wednesday before, the Colonel learned of his son-in-law’s illness and started immediately to Indianapolis. His symptoms growing worse, Mrs. Kelly was also summoned. On Monday evening the body was brought to this city by special train, and yesterday the funeral services were held. Mr. Brown was a man of vigorous health and his death was as sudden as it was sad.
Mr. Brown was one of the principal contractors in the construction of the east end of the Gilman, Clinton and Springfield Railroad, and it was then that he first became a resident of Clinton. During the past three years he was extensively engaged in the construction of railroads, having large contracts both in this State and in Indiana, and at the time of his death he was connected with the building of several lines in Indiana.
Mr. Brown was a native of Ipswich, Mass., and at the time of his death was only thirty-two years of age. Less than two years ago he was married to the eldest daughter of Colonel J. J. Kelly. During his short life he was identified with more extensive business operations than usually fall to the lot of young men. In all his undertakings he gave the best energies of his strong, manly nature, and thus had the confidence of his business associates and the esteem of those in his employ. He was a man of strong religious convictions, and he carried his religion into his daily life. Kind and courteous to all, he made friends wherever he went. In this city he was highly regarded for his moral worth. Mr. Brown leaves a young wife to mourn her loss. Scarcely yet two years since she was a happy bride, and now she is stricken down with the heaviest calamity of her young life. In her affliction she has the sympathy of loving parents and kind friends. The funeral services were attended by a large number of our citizens.
