Jim,
Thanks for the offer.

When I look at the file from within TMG (4.0d & 5.15) the sentences are of
normal length but after the generation of the report they are truncated. It
seem as though it happens during the transfer to MSW. Note that it is 254
characters after the last paragraph marker.

Obituary of William Brown Sr. (1845-1934)

Wm. Brown Was Real Local Pioneer

William Brown Sr. died September 17, 1934, at the home of his son William in Lincoln Park after an illness of several weeks.

Decedent was born in Waterloo, New York, January 25, 1845, having lived there with his parents, two brothers and three sisters. At the age of nine Mr. Brown with his family moved on a farm on Miller Road and here for many years he aided his father in their farming activities.

During his childhood he enjoyed many interesting encounters with Indians. One outstanding event he has always enjoyed telling was that his brother was ill for several days and after the mother had administered several homemade remedies. In desperation she called on her nearest neighbor who happened to be an Indian squaw who was very proud to give aids to a white boy. The squaw immediately set about to prepare the queer concoction of herbs. Mr. Brown's mother looking on dubiously. The medicine was given to the sick child which proved to be a miraculous cure. This act of hospitality was one never to be forgotten by the entire family.

His education was limited, having spent much time in farming and logging activities. The logging was done for the Canada Southern railroad now the D. T. & I.. Mr. Brown also aided in the building of west Road cutting down timber, making it a road instead of a mere path. His first vote was cast for Abraham Lincoln.

On April 23, 1971, he was married to Elizabeth Dowling. The ceremony was performed by Mr. McKenzie, a Justice of the peace in Monroe County and took place at the home of Mr. Aceltyne.

They established their first residence on a farm on Miller Road, continuing his farming pursuits. To this union was born four sons, Frank, Jesse, William and Walter and one daughter Bertha.

Later his logging interests carried him to Northern Michigan. Here Mr Brown enjoyed his work among men of every type and interest. His home coming from the so-called far north was an event to look forward to by members of his family.

They then moved to a farm on Telegraph Road, having purchased it from Mr. Aceltyne. This home was a log cabin but happiness and contentment reigned. After their children had grown and married, Mr. and Mrs. Brown built a frame home to take the place of the former one. This represented a goal well earned which they had strained many years to attain.

His interests were varied at this point in life, fishing and horse racing claimed many happy hours. His several appointments on the jury panel of the Circuit Court of Wayne County was a highlight of his adult life. He always enjoyed telling many incidents in connection with this duty.

On July 25th, 1913, Mrs. Brown passed away. This loss was keenly felt by Mr. Brown and his children. His love and devotion for his wife followed him unto his death.

His later years were quietly spent among members of his immediate family, reminiscing his many experiences, enjoying the past, and visiting his many friends until death ended the happy life, leaving only pleasant memories for his family to enjoy.

Funeral services were held Wednesday September 19, at 2:00 o'clock at the home of his son Frank in Flat Rock. Rev. G. R.. Millard of Linden officiating, Mr R. A. Finley directing Burial in Oak Ridge Cemetery.

The five children remain to mourn his departure: Frank and Jesse of Flat Rock, William of Lincoln Park, Walter of Cass City and Mrs. Henry Sharlow of Wyandotte. There are 14 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. Truly a real pioneer has gone with the passing of Mr. Brown.

The obit. states Wm. born in 1825 but his grave stone indicaes 1846
