Death from Pneumonia
John Brown, resident of Montrose for the past 20 years, and one of the young men who blazed the trail across the plains to Colorado in 1861, passed to the Great Beyond at the home of his son, Edgar, in this city last Saturday afternoon. Two weeks ago Mr. Brown returned from a trip to Kansas City, where he marketed a band of sheep, and went immediately to his camp on the Blue. A severe cold was contracted that developed into pneumonia. He became so bad last Friday that he came to Montrose and the following day died. He and son were interested in the sheep business. He was 59 years of age. Deceased was known to many of our old timers and well liked by them; a good citizen.
The funeral occurred from the undertaking parlors of Frasier & Garrett Monday morning and the remains were interred in Cedar cemetery.
