October 19, 1922, William Brown or Uncle Brown as he was called, departed this life at the age of 77 years, he was born, raised, lived, died and was buried within a radius of one mile of the same place. He was a Union soldier in the Sixties to the end of the Rebellion. Participated in the battles of Chickamauga, Shilo, Murpheysboro, Mangathers. At the close of the war, ---- the Lord, accepted Christ, was buried with him in Baptism and was united with the Baptist Church at Pleasant Hill and lived a loyal christian life to the end.
He was the first of the family to go to the grave, leaving a widow, five sons and two daughters, all in his church with a great army of friends and relatives to mourn their loss.
Funeral services were conducted at the church by Rev. Wesley Denney and Rev. Alvin Bertram in a masterly and impressive manner. Their audience -- in tears as they extolled the virtues of a good man.
The constant care of Dr. Bristow, a high classed physician, with the generous hands of a loveing command, administered comfort and assistance to the last moments for which we shall ever feel greatful.
We commend it to Him who doeth all things well.
