BRIDE OF DEATH
Mrs. William D. Brown, nee Nellie Fish
A happy bride in October last, in the last sleep today. In all the long catalogue of human sorrows what tale of sadness can be equal to this! Mrs. W. D. Brown, known by this community through all her bright girlhood as Nellie Fish, folded her hands in the embrace of death on Thursday evening last. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. H. Fish. Less than two months ago Mr. and Mrs. Brown commenced house-keeping. Their little home was not yet all to rights, but it had clustered many comforts and hope and love united to make it dear to them. How inexpressibly cruel seems the stroke that has fallen upon it. Who shall give a name to the bitterness of the young husband in his loneliness and desolation? We can only say that the tenderest sympathy of whole city goes out to him and his family, and to the parents and friends of the loved one gone.
The funeral took place Saturday, June 25th, at 1 p.m., from the Fourth street home, and was largely attended.
