One by one they go , those dear old pioneers. In Montgomery County, Missouri, April 22, 1828, Wm. D. Brown was born. His father had come there from Kentucky with Daniel Boone. He was the youngest of a family of twelve children.
In Missouri in 1858 he was married to Miss Martha J. Bentley, and in 1865 they came to Oregon by way of the mule team, where they resided for two years, coming thence to Colusa County in 1867, after a stay of one year in Tehama County, and a year in Lassen County.
At Red Bluff in 1872, Mr. Brown lost his wife. In 1880 he married Mrs. Ada Simpson, who survives him. He left one daughter, Mrs. Willis Dunlap of Venado, and an only son, U. W. Brown of Colusa.
The avocations of Wm. D. Brown were farming and stock raising all his life. For the last four or five years he has resided on a farm with his stepson, Geo. W. Simpson in Glen Valley, four miles west of Lurline. Having been in feeble health for the past three or four hears he died last Monday morning, December 31st, 1906, from a stroke of paralysis. April 22nd next he would have been 79 years of age.
At 1:30 Tuesday the funeral services were held at his home and his remains were brought to Colusa for interment. Today on the arrival of the train from Sites they were met by friends and relatives who accompanied those who came with them to the Colusa Cemetery, where the last sad rites took place.
Mr. Brown had been a consistent member of the Baptist church for almost half a century. Rev. Mr. Russell of the Baptist church, pastor at Maxwell, officiated.
A long and useful life was ended, but all along through the years he left tracks that were well that they were followed by those who shall come after. As a husband, father, neighbor, friend, Mr. Brown was ever endeared to those who knew him, and many a tear stained cheek and aching heart holds his memory dear. The pall bearers were, Charles Kraft, W. F. Sites, D. Bagley, H. Vestmyer, P. Gilliam, and I. G. Zumwalt.
