ward in '93. He was treasurer ot the
Trinitarian Congregational society, be
ing collector for years previous to being

Blackstone Bank, Fully 60 members of
the past and present City Governments
of Maiden met at the City Hall at 1.30
o'clock, and attended the funeral services
at the church in a body.
The Malden Mail contains the follow
ing appreciative tribute:
"It is many a day since Malden has
lost a better citizen than Lewis P. Brown,
who died this morning. Mr. Brown was
one of the best types of an -unassuming
American gentleman. He put on no airs
of superiority over his fellow men and
treated all with equal cordiality and
respect. He was a democrat in the best
sense of the word ; a man who believed in
the people and trusted the people. The
death of such a man is a serious loss to
any community."
