John Joseph Brown has been a
familiar figure on our streets for the

played many parts, was a lawyer In
early youth, a school teacher for
several years, then a store keeper,
which occupation turned out to be

a considerable fortune but tho panic
of 1 K S) 3 swept a greater part of It

The funernl took place from the

street on the afternoon of Thursday.
The funeral was conducted by the
Christian Science church of this city,
after which Judge Stephen Jewell
mado a talk on the life and character
of the deceased and closed with the
following thoughts:
'To say that our brother has been
a man in the full sense of that term,
Is to pass the highest compliment
possible The true and rcnl man Is
the Image of God. If we are men
and women In the full sense of those
terms, we are God's representatives
here on earth. And if we live as men
and women are expected to live, we
mar expect to enter the spirit world
prepared to enjoy the rerjr best that
God hns In reservation for hi people.
Death is not necesarlly our great
est enemy. 1 look upon death
simply a transition from conditions
that cause sorrow and disease, and
death Into conditions where anything
that would mar the happiness of in
telligent beings is unknown. I be
lieve that a glorious destiny awaits
the human race. I believe that God,
our Creator, Is a real father. I be
lieve that ho will give each one all
that he is capable of enjoying in the
world to como. And for this reason
l feel It to be the duty of every one
to get at once as near to the divtne
image as possible while here in this
world."
The Interment was nt Granlto Hill
cemetery.
