Son of Hannah.
Married Anna Maria Call.
Father of Ralph Call Brown.
Edward Lewis Brown died at his home in Calverton Monday night at the age of 70 years.
Mr. Brown was born in Longwood, near Yaphank. When quite young he moved to Wyandanch, where he lived until he was 25 years of age, moving then to Calverton, residing there ever since. He secured a post office and railroad station at Calverton and many other public improvements started. In 1875 he engaged in the cranberry business, being one of the pioneers on Long Island in that industry. For some years, Mr. Brown was also a miller in Calverton. He was postmaster for sixteen years, and ran the office at his own expense, the income being sufficient to pay him a salary. He was widely known and highly respected.
Seven years ago, he was stricken with a disease that left him blind and helpless, and in spite of the fact that he had always been a man of much activity previously, he never complained.
His wife and only son, Ralph C. Brown, of Riverhead, survive. The widow's maiden name was Anna M Call of Smithtown. Mr. Brown is also survived by two brothers, Justice Henry H. Brown, of Wyandanch, and Hampton Brown, of White Plains, and two sisters, the Misses E. Frances and Angelica Brown, of Babylon.
Private funeral services, in charge of the Rev. Frank Vorhees of Baiting Hollow were conducted this Friday morning. The interment will be in Riverhead.
