Death’s Untimely Frost.

Last Monday evening, after months of patient suffering, Anna Brown, daughter of David Brown, peacefully departed this life. The change did not come as a surprise to herself, and it had been long known by relatives and friends that the “Angel of Death had marked her for his own,” and so for many weeks they had been closely watching and waiting the shadows grow longer, until her bright, young sun should have forever set.

Anna Brown was one of the brightest and best young ladies of Yale. She was not only a special favorite in her home but in the large circle of friends and acquaintances who knew her but tut to love her, she will be sadly missed and long and sacredly remembered. The eighteen bright, brief summers that blossomed along her pathway grew unnumbered flowers with which to strew her grave.

She graduated from the High School in the class of ’94, the other members being Mary Pearce, Julia Grinnell, Lillian Cooper, Maud Freeman, Lulu High, Leah Darcy, and Justin Cavanagh, giving promise of elocutionary powers of high order.

Miss Brown was a member of the Epworth League of the M.E. church, where he funeral was held on Thursday at 1 o’clock, Elder J.H. Paton officiating. The services were tender and impressive. The flowers that adorned the casket, the gifts of loving hands and hearts, were many and beautiful.

Two sets of pall bearers, one of young ladies, the other of young gentlemen, tenderly waited on the hearse that bore her remains to Elmwood cemetery, attended and honored by a large concourse of true, weeping friends. Truly the memories of the good is blessed.
