BROWN At South Brownsville,
Kor. 25, 1881), aged 45 years, eleven
months, thirteen days, Amelia L.,
wife of John Brown.
: Ho givoth his beloved sleep.- Ps.
127:2.1 ,
Mrs. John Brown (ncc Miss Amelia
L. Hpnulding) was born December 12,
1840, an d was tho youngest daughter
of Amelia and Rev. H. II. Spaulding,
pjoncor missionaries to the coast,
mado memorable to Oregon history
by the Whitman nuwsacro of early
days. From injuries received, Mrs.
Brown has for the past twenty years
been a confirmed invalid, nnd al
though for that spaoo of tiruo she has
been unable to move from her bed,
she has, during the afflictions' of
this long period of sufl'cring and sick
ness, passed tho time with true Chris
tian resignation and patience, without
murmur or complaint. But a short
time has elapsed since the demise of
her eldest daughter, on which occas
ion her system, already weakened by
confinement and sickness, sustained a
severe nervous shock, from which she
has never rallied, and although all has
been done that wealth or the best
medical attendance could do, after the
hist attacK, which has lasted for the
past month, she, on tho morning of
Monday the 25th inst, bid her friends
adieu, and tlyj spirit of this Chiistian
wife and mother flattered from its
frail earthly tenement, and like a pure
white dove winged its way to heaven
and a happy home above. On the oc
casion of the funeral ceremonies, at
the Baptist church, of which the de
ceased was a member, on Nov. 20, at
10 A. M, Rev. Carpus Hperry deliver
ed to a large asscmb,lage an eloquent
address, the deceased hcing accompa
nied to her last eirthly resting place
by a groat numbcf -of sympathizing
friends.
Bo He calls them in from their labors
ere the shadows 'round them creep,
And silently watches o'er them, lie
giveth His loved ones sleep.
WHAT OTIIEnS SAY.
The following is what tho 8ci Press
says in regard to our poju-r mill :
Lebanon is to have a pspcr mill.
Her people seem determined not to be
left out in the race for growth and
prosperity, and at Inst accounts had
about raised tho five thousand dollar
Iwnus demanded for tho establishment
of a paper mill in that ci'-y, so near, in
deed, that the enterprise may be set
down as an accomplished fact. This
means a great deal for t he handsome
little city of Lebanon it mens an im
mediate addition to her population,
new capital will be attracted, addition
al enterprises will le opened up, city
and country ranlty will advance, at:d
the immunities thereabout will soon
be on top of tho great tidal wave of
prosperity that is now so grandly
sweeping over Oregon. The Press is
glad to note and commend tho cutcr
prlslng and liberal spirit manifested by
the loading spirits of Lebanon, and
predict that the beneficial results in
this one enterprise, in the near future,
will be so maivelotis ns to be a matter
of surprise and congratulation to her
most Ardent admirers. All honor to
the grand men who give liberally of
their substance to build up und in
crease the general prosjKrity.
