Irvin BROWN, a former resident of Waveland, died at his home in Frankfort on Thursday last. He was living alone. Mrs. Brown died several years ago. Mr. Brown was very ingenious and invented a practical corn husker. However hand labor was too cheap at that time. He also invented an automatic car coupler, which railroad men said was superior to the Janney coupler, but roads did like the expense of making a change.
