“The community has again been startled by the announcement that one of its citizens was found dead last Wednesday night, between 9 and ten o’clock. The body of Mr. R.F. Brown, who has been living about 5 miles west of King City for many years, was found last Wednesday night, lying partly in the creek. Mr. Brown had been in his usual health, had been in town on Monday. On Tuesday afternoon he left home to go to his brother’s, M.M. Brown, a little over one mile distant, to get his mail as the brothers frequently took each other’s mail out. He arrived at his brother’s house, spent some time and started for home about 4 o’clock, P.M. There is a stream of water running between the two places. Mr. Brown reached the stream, and, when found was lying partly in the water; his head not being entirely covered. Mr. Brown not returning in the evening caused no uneasiness as, we learn, he quite frequently stayed away longer than he expected when starting; nor did the family think anything unusual had taken place until evening the next day, when search was instituted, and Mr. Harris found the body as stated above. Squire Handel was notified, a jury impaneled, whose verdict in substance was, that deceased came to his death by drowning in a way and manner unknown to the jury. The funeral services will take place under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity, at the family residence on Sunday at 2 o’clock P.M.” on 2 June 1893.¹⁵ He was buried on 4 June 1893 at Empire Prairie, Andrew, Missouri, USA.^3,15 He OBITUARY
