From the home of her parents, 182 Conklin avenue, at 4:45 this morning, the gentle spirit of Eva A., daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.C. Brown, took flight for worlds beyond. Twenty years of earthly residence, sixteen of which were years of painful illnesses, have served to show her cheerful, sweet disposition, her Christian faith and fortitude. Loving, uncomplaining, she was the light of the home her departure has made desolate. The consolation of aching, mourning hearts is that she is forever at rest. Her memory remains like a golden halo after a glorious sun has set. The funeral will occur Monday, Feb. 23rd, at 2:30 p.m. [died between 1890 and 1910]
