Brown - Dora Tapp
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Sept 8, 1893
Mrs. Dora Brown, daughter of Oscar and Subbina Tapp was born March 12, 1864, and died August 31, 1893, being 29 years, 5 months, and 19 days old. She was married to Marshall Brown September 7, 1887. She leaves two children, boys, aged respectively 3 years and 1 year, and her husband and parents, who deeply mourn her loss and need all the sympathy friends can give them. She joined the Mt. Olivet church when she was 15 years old and led a most excellent and consistent Christian life. Her health being delicate for some time and not always being near enough she was deprived of the great pleasures of attending worship as often as she wished. Some ten weeks ago she left her home, near Mr. Tabor church, to visit her parents and not being able to return, she departed this life at her father's. She had no fear of death and would talk of it as familiarly as of going to a neighbor's house. She had but two regrets for her death. One was on account of her little family and the other was on account of her parents. She realized that her husband and little boys would be deprived of a wife and a mother, which she knew would be a calamity to them. Then her being the last of her parents' family, her sister and brother preceding her in less than three short years, she longed to live and make their last days happy. She was a victim of the dread disease consumption, which was not hereditary, this teaching us the uncertainty of life. She was as patient at one could be in all her sickness. Her faith in Christ was firm as founded as a rock to the very last. Her death was as peaceful as a child going to sleep. She went to sleep in Jesus to await a glorious awakening.
