Oria A. Brown

August 9, 1885 ~ March 6, 1920

Death is no respector of persons and the strong and able fall before it as well as the weaker and more frail. One who has been cut off in the strength of his young manhood is Mr. Orra Brown, who succumbed to pneumonia following the flu [March 6, 1920]. He was thirty-three years of age and leaves a young widow, a daughter of Mr. Robert Waldie. Mr. Brown moved to the locality a year or so before having bought the Archie Waldie farm east of the village. It is stated, that his mother who went to help care for him, is also quite seriously ill.

  The funeral took place from his late residence to the Centenary Cemetery. Cobourg World, Mar. 12, 1920.
