SYDNOR BAILEY BROWN
01 Jun 1834 – 08 Mar 1919
(Yukon, OK)
Sydnor Bailey Brown was born in Liken (sic) county, Ohio, June 1, 1834, where he resided with his parents until he attained the age of 14 years. At that time, with his parents, he moved to McLean county, Ill, living there until the year 1856, then moving to Harden county, Iowa. On September 27, 1861, he answered the call of his country and enrolled under the Stars and Stripes for service in the Civil war, serving his country 3 years, 1 month and 26 days, receiving an honorable discharge November 23, 1864. On September 29, two days after his enlistment, he was united in marriage to Nancy Ann Whitney at Eldora, Harden county, Iowa, where they remained until 1871, at which time they moved to Jewell County, Kansas, taking up a homestead. In that then very new country, they commenced building their home, remaining there until the fall of 1900 when they sold their holdings and came to Canadian county, Oklahoma, buying land near the town of Yukon, and in 1909 he retired from active life, moving into the city of Yukon, where he remained until the time of his death, which occurred March 8, 1919, having been preceded to that great beyond by his beloved wife, by one year and three months. Uncle Sid, as he was always called and his beloved wife were blessed with three sons all of whom are still living, Frank E. of Yukon, Myron Z. of Clinton and Guy W. of Yukon, with whom Uncle Sid has made his home since the death of his wife. All three sons were present at the time of his death. He is also survived by four granddaughters, one grandson, two brothers, Abb and Jerry Brown both of Yukon, and two sisters, Minerva Seavers of Randall, Kansas, and Sarah Ann Mason of Portland, Oregon. His sisters could not attend his funeral. The death of Uncle Sid will leave vacant a place in the community that will be hard to fill. While making few pretentions, his life was always that of a consistent Christian.
Farewell, dear father, sweet they rest,
Weary with years and worn with pain.
Farewell, ‘till in some happy place
We shall behold they face again.
‘Tis ours to miss thee, all our years,
And tender memories of thee keep,
Thine in the Lord to rest, for so,
He giveth his beloved sleep."
