20 Mar 1920 Obituary
The quiet life of Mrs. Elmina Whitcomb Brown, widow of William Brown, ebbed away on Wed. Mar 17, in her eighty-third year. She had enjoyed unusually good health for one of her age until last December when she experienced a severe shock which has gradually rendered her more and more infirm and helpless. Services were held at the home of William G Brown on Friday at 1:00 with Rev. H. L. Culkins as the officiating clergyman and internment was made in the family lot at West Acton cemetery.
Mrs. Brown was born in Berlin on November 2 1832. She was married at the age of eighteen and lived for a time in Stow. After the death of her husband, which occurred about thirty years ago, she made her home with her son, William G Brown, with whom she has lived ever since.
Other relatives surviving her, besides her son, are a sister, Miss Maria Whitcomb of Roxbury, two grand children and three great grandchildren. A son, Clarence died about thirty-two years ago.
Mrs Brown belonged to the substantial type of quiet, home loving, industrious women, devoted to domestic life, and faithful to it's various duties.
