DEATH OF JOHN BROWN

John Brown, aged 76, one of the oldest residents of the Heights, died at his home Sunday morning at 1:15. Deceased was a member of St. Nicholas’ Church and a member of the German Young Mens’ Society. Mr. Brown was born in Germany and came to this country with his parents as a small boy. They resided in Honesdale and after a short time came to this city. Mr. Brown was a carpenter by trade, being employed by the Lehigh & Wilkes-Barre Coal Co. for forty-five years. He built one of the first houses on the Heights when that part of the city was nothing but fields. He settled on what is now Grant street. He is survived by the following children: Mrs. Nicholas Alles, Mrs. Mary Melan and Edward J., the latter two at home; five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Two brothers, Peter and Jacob Brown, of East End; one sister Mrs. Catherine Forve, of Elberfield, Indiana, also survive.
