"Lord Brown, one of the pioneer settlers of LeSueur Co. crossed the line between here and the hereafter, last Friday night, Feb.3,1905, on his journey to the great unknown, the mythical home of everlasting sunshine, where night is made as day by the glittering golden streets of the new Jerusalem. Mr. Brown was born in Standing Stone, Bradford Co., Pennsylvania, May 3rd, 1815. He was married to Miss Minerva Vaughn, March 1, 1835. Eleven children were born to them all of them are living as far as known. Benjamin F. who resides in Michigan, Mrs. W.H. Jones, W.W., Newton, Collins, Edward who lives in California, Amanda J., of Chicago Ill., Mrs. Rolla Denet, Charles, John and Eugene. Six were born in Pennsylvania, three in Michigan, one in Iowa and Eugene the youngest in Minnesota. He emigrated to Michigan in 1849 where he remained until the spring of 1856, when, with his family started overland to Kansas, and got as far as Kirkidle, Iowa, and had to lay up on account of sickness in the family. He stayed there through harvest then took the trail leading up in Minnesota where he arrived late in the fall and went into winter quarters across the lake north of Waterville Village which consisted of one lone log cabin. He filed a pre-emption right on 160 acres in the town of Kilkenny, section 33, where he resided up to the time of his death. The funeral was held in Cordova, Monday Feb. 6, and his remains laid to rest beside those of his wife who shared his joys and sorrows for 67 years. May they rest in peace."
