/ / / MEMORIAM.
From The Colorado Springs ( Colo. ) Gazette. ] -
Charles Frederick Brown , better known
mong his acquaintances ns "Freddie Brown , "
urrendered his lire at twenty minutes past .
me o'clock P.M. , March 13,18S0 , to that drcad-
d disease and destroyer or human lire , con-
umption. e :
Freddie was the only son and only child or
lis parents , William and Margaiet Brown , both .
t whom preceded him in answering roll call -y
the land of the leal , and whose remains rest
ide ' by side in the cemetery at Indianola , Neb. , Sl
rhenceFreddie'sremainsarenow beingborne p
y kind friends for final interment. ] ?
Freddie was a nephew or Mrs. N. W. Bacon J
nd Mrs. D. A. Cowell , or this city , at the resl-
encoof the fonnerof v.houi he made his home
t the time of his death , and had fertile last
wo yeats , where he received every attention
hat medical skill and kind and sympathetic
carts could provide or suggest. He was born
Chicago , February 1(1.1S07 ( , and shortly there- { • ,
fter came west with his parents , who settled ,
Nebraska , where his mother died , while he
ras quite you.ig , leaving liim to face the vicisw
itudes or life motherless , with the inheritance tl
r hereditary consumption in his system , he e <
rorked ! his way to manhood , always earning j. (
rith him a spotless name , with his honor and
itegrity never questioned. His friends were _ J
imply co-extensive with his acquaintances , K
r.d whatever may have been his thoughts , lie
sfrained from speaking evil of anyone. lie
lied different positions of responsibility and &
rust and was never called upon to excuse or - ,
xpiuin an act. . ,
He made no claims before the world to su-
erior goodness , and never complained of his
it ; was too manly to annor others with ac-
aunts of his physical suffering , and was fully
peace with all creation , both known and un- c ]
nown , to the moment of his death , and if I , 1 ;
ho have at different times discussed with him
ur comparative chances or life , were called er
pon to write Freddie Brown's epitaph , I
jould simply say. Here lies a heart which was
ever cold until it ceased to beat. F.
