Quite a gloom was case over the Kurrajong on Friday of last week when it became known that Mrs. H. A. Brown had died suddenly on the previous evening. The deceased, who was 34 years of age, was a robust, healthy looking lady, and one who was loved and respected by all who knew her. She leaves a family of five sons and three daughters, the eldest, a boy of 15 and the youngest, a baby three days old; also a sorrowing husband and several brothers and one sister. Her father is Mr Thomas John, a much respected resident of Comleroy Road, and the brothers are William, Thomas, Henry (of West Australia,) Clarrie and Victor; and Mrs John Scott is the sister. The remains were interred in the Presbyterian burial ground at Kurrajong Heights on Saturday, the burial service being conducted by the Rev. W.R. Milne. The duties of undertaker were carried out by Mr A. Price, of Richmond.

IN MEMORIUM. BROWN. In sad but loving memory of my dear wife, Emily Caroline, who departed this life, January 27, 1910.
There seems a shadow on the day,
Her smile no longer cheers;
A dimness on the stars at night,
Like eyes that look through tears.
Fold her, O Father! In Thine arms,
And let her henceforth be
A messenger of love between
Our human hearts and Thee.
Inserted by her loving husband and family, H.A. Brown.
WHERE THEY LIVED
The name BROWN appears on the map of the earliest land grands in the area. It was at the bottom of Bellbird Hill, near what is now Hermitage Road, Kurrajong Hills.
