Saturday afternoon about 3 o'clock at the Dr. Stearns sanitarium in Indianapolis occurred the death of Dr. Alonzo F. Brown, of Alamo, after an illness of seven weeks of cerebral hemorrhage. The remains were taken to Alamo Saturday evening and a short service conducted at his home Sunday by Rev. Alford. The body was then brought to the home of his father-in law, Eli Armentrout, south of this city, where the funeral was conducted this morning at 10 o’clock by Rev. Henry Hostetter of South Bend. It was largely attended. The flower bearers were Misses Ethel and Lulu Davidson, Miss Jessie Harshbarger, Mrs. Milton Kesler, Mrs. Will Davidson and Miss Anna Burns. Miss India Truax and Mrs. Charles Hybarger, both of Alamo, sang selections that were favorites of the deceased when he was alive. The pall bearers were Rob¬ert Stimson of Terre Haute, Jess Armentrout, Walter Armentrout, Charles Whittington and Joseph Herron of this city, and Mark Dice of near Mace, all of whom were brothers-in-law of the deceased. The interment took place in Oak Hill cemetery. Dr. Brown was well and favorably known in Montgomery County, where he spent his life of almost fifty-six years, having been born in Alamo in 1855. He was the son of Dr. I. L. Brown and Mrs. Elizabeth Warbington Brown. They came to Alamo in the early pioneer days, when the form¬er had to ride horseback in calling on his patients, and often he could hardly get through the terrible mud holes that were scattered along the highways, especially in the wintertime. The subject of this sketch was born and grew to manhood in Alamo, and when quite young, graduated from the Indiana Medical College and immediately located there, where he has practiced ever since until seized by his fatal Illness this summer. He was married in 1897 to Miss Anna Armentrout, who was at that time employed in the Crawfordsville post office in the capacity of clerk at the general deliv¬ery window. The deceased was a member of the Presbyterian Church in Alamo all his life. He was also a member of the Montgomery County |Medical Society. He is survived by his wife and one sister, Mrs. Robert Stimson, of Terre Haute. During his last illness, for several days prior to his death, bags of ice were kept on his heart and head. - kbz
