Story
This obituary notice was published in The Aurora Republican on 1 Oct 1914:
A sealed envelope on the body of husband Oscar, addressed to son Guy Brown, contained a note telling where certain papers could be found and stating in a rather incoherent way that the writer's virtues would be appreciated after he was gone.
The coroner's jury, consisting of A. Cole, Clark Perkins, I.S. Smith, M.R. Worthington, F. Misner and Tobe Catlett, found that Mrs. Brown came to her death by reason of two revolver shots fired with premeditated and felonious intent by her husband, who than committed suicide in the same manner.
The funeral was held Monday afternoon from the home of Guy Brown by Rev. C.L. Organ, the Christian evangelist. A private service was first held for the benefit of the relatives, who were complimented upon being able to meet together without bitterness at such a time, and appropriate words of sympathy and comfort were spoken. The theme at the public service which immediately followed was, "Pure and undefiled religion is to visit the orphan's" and help them to recover from the terrible blow they had sustained. The speaker declared that this was no time for criticism or for speculation, but that sympathy and helping hands should be extended to the innocent children who must suffer for the mistakes of their parents.
Oscar Brown was almost 51 years and his wife was just past 48. The ring which was partially responsible for the tragedy was given to Mrs. Brown by her daughter Lottie on her 48th birthday, September 15th. So far as known Mrs. Brown had never given her husband cause for jealousy except, perhaps, by failing to take him into her confidence in regard to some matters as fully as she should have done.
Mr. Brown was a native of Illinois but removed with his parents when a child to Iowa and grew up in the same neighborhood, near Shenandoah, with Anna R. Hanks, who became his wife in 1886. The couple moved to Hamilton county soon afterward and had lived there continuously ever since.
They were the parents of ten children, two of whom died in infancy. The survivors are: Mrs. Edith Newberry of Hutchinson, Kan.; Guy F., Lottie M., Ona T., Lewie M., Harry, Clara and Theodore, all of Aurora.
The following relatives from a distance attended the funeral; W.H. Brown a half brother of Oscar Brown and his daughters, Mrs. D.C. Thompson and Mrs. Tracy Decker, all of Arcadia; E.M. Hanks, D.C. Hanks, F.A. Hanks, and Mrs. Almira Watson of Hay Springs, brothers and sister of Mrs. Brown. E.C. Brown of Cairo and H.S. Brown of Seward, sons of W.H. Brown, were here Sunday but did not remain for the funeral. Other relatives of Mr. Brown are Edward Brown of Omaha and N.S. Brown and Elmer Brown of Aurora, brothers, Mrs. Ida Wollaston of Phillips, Mrs. Elva Snohill of Hastings and Mrs. Letta Willard of Comstock, sister and Mrs. M. W. James of Aurora, a half-sister.
Mrs. Brown has two brothers and one sister who were unable to attend the funeral: E.P. Hanks of California, S. H. Hanks Hay Springs and Mrs. Mary Jarrels of Grand Encampment, Colo. Her death is the first in a family of eight children.
