OBITUARY: 
JAMES C. BROWN. 
Another of the earlier settlers of this state has gone. 
Coming to Salem on November 22, 1859, James Charles Brown has been a well known and highly respected citizen of this city ever since. Many of his friends will read with sorrow the report of his demise, which occurred yesterday morning, August 30, 1904, at 8 o'clock 15 minutes, at his residence at 84 Commercial St. Born seventeen miles north of Toronto, Canada, March 9, 1837, he left his birthplace on the eighteenth day of August, 1858, coming to Oregon via the Fort Geary route. In 1862 he married Miss Lizzie Cox, who died a year later. In 1865 he married Miss Narcissa Waldo, daughter of Dan Waldo, the father of the Waldo Hills. She lived as his constant companion until December 12, 1887, when she died. Mr. Brown was married for the third time January 2, 1890, to Catherine A. Card, who still survives him. Mr. Brown leaves also three sons, Norris J. Brown, now with the Pacific Hardware and Steel Co., of San Francisco. George G. Brown, clerk of the Board of School Land Commissioners, and Kenneth J. Brown, at home, and two daughters, Mrs. Frank M. Cerini of Oakland, California and Gertrude Brown, at home. Mr. Brown was engaged in merchandizing in Salem for a number of years and served the city as a member of the city council at one time. He was a member of Salem Lodge of Benevolent, Protective Order of Elks, who will have charge of the interment of the body. The funeral will take place today from the family residence, the services to be conducted by Rev. P. S. Knight. Mr. Brown had been sick for a good while and death has not been unexpected. Mr. and Mrs. Cerini have been here for several days, with Mrs. Cerini's father in his last sickness.
