OBITUARY
"DEATH OF FRANK BROWN AFTER A LONG ILLNESS
Passing of a Kamaaina Who Was Identified With Political and Business Interests of the Islands.
SHORTLY after 9 o'clock yesterday morning, Frank Brown, one of Honolulu's best known kamaainas, died at his residence on King street, Ewa of Piikoi street, of valvular disease of the heart. Mr. Brown has been ailing for several months and on many occasions has been confined to his bed from severe attacks of the disease to which he finally succumbed. On New Year's Day he had a more serious time than usual and from this time he failed to rally, the attack culminating yesterday in his death. His brother, Cecil Brown, was at his bedside yesterday morning and the two had a conversation, after which Cecil Brown went to his office. He had barely reached there when a telephone message came announcing that his brother had died. The suddenness of his death was a surprise to his friends in this city, who are legion.
Frank Brown had spent almost his entire life in the Hawaiian Islands, having come here with his parents from England in 1846, and with the exception of ten years spent in business in the Eastern States, has always been identified with the political and business history of the islands and especially of Honolulu. He was a member of the monarchial legislature for three terms, and was one of the oldest masons in Honolulu.
The deceased was born in Slough, Buckinghamshire, England, in 1841, and was 61 years of age this month. With his parents he came to Hawaii in 1846 and remained here until 1853, when he was sent to the States, where he attended school in Connecticut, and afterwards went to work there, until 1863, when he came back to the islands via Panama, and was engaged in business with the house of Janion, Green & Co., afterwards managing a wholesale liquor house for his uncle, until the business was disposed of to the Macfarlanes. He then engaged in trade for himself and controlled the establishment on Merchant street until his death.
The deceased was the son of Thomas Brown, who was Registrar of Conveyances under the monarchy. His mother died here last year. He was married on December 27, 1876, to Miss Caroline Wundenberg, sister of Fred Wundenberg, who survives him. They celebrated their silver wedding on December 27th last. Besides his wife he also leaves three brothers and one sister. These are Godfrey, Cecil and Malcolm Brown, and Mrs. Alexander Mackintosh. Mr. Brown's two uncles, Judge Charles and L. W. Hart, reside in Honolulu at present.
Frank Brown was elected to the Legislature for the first time in 1884 from the Koolau, Oahu, district, together with Cecil and Godfrey Brown. He represented his district for three terms altogether. During the first Territorial election held in November, 1900, Frank Brown was a candidate for the Legislature on the Democratic ticket, and was then defeated. He was also a member of the Lodge le Progres of the Masons.
The funeral will take place this afternoon from his residence on King street, Rev. Alexander Mackintosh officiating, the interment to take place in Nuuanu cemetery. The pall-bearers: H. M. von Holt, F. W. Wundenberg, J. H. Soper, O. St. John Gilbert, Geo. Smithies and C. M. V. Forster."
