Gertrude Brown, daughter of Emma R. and Chas. Brown died at her home Hoyt, Kansas of consumption Saturday morning, Nov. 19th, after an illness of two years.
Gertrude was born February 19th 1889 [sic], at Coldspring, Cattaraugus Co., N. Y. and was twenty-three years of age.
Deceased was buried Sabbath afternoon, Rev. Davis officiating.
She came to Kansas with her parents in 1871, and located near Wetmore, where they lived until 1885, they then moved to Jackson county near Hoyt, where she spent the remainder of her life.
The year of 1886 she finished her education, though not being strong she was very ambitious, and concluded she would adopt teaching school for a profession. Her hearing becoming affected she saw she could not make that a success, and being a very good musician turned her attention entirely to music. For two years she studied music at Campbell University, Holton, Kansas. She taught three years giving excellent satisfaction. Her health entirely failing this blighted her cherished hopes, and fond expectations. She was an estimable young lady, a true Christian and her deaths is cause for general and sincere regret. During her prolonged illness she bore her suffering with wonderful patience. She always had a smile and kind word for everyone, and was universally loved. An unusually large concourse of sympathizing friends met to pay the last tribute of respect to our dear young friend. The remains were enterred at the Stanley cemetery. Her father was laid to rest at the same cemetery several years ago. Gertrude leaves a mother, brother and two sisters to mourn her loss, as well as the entire neighborhood.
