Crestline Advocate
Thursday, 3 April 1919


         MRS. LAVINA BROWN, widow of the late CHARLES A. BROWN,
       and a sister of SAMUEL EASTERDAY, of Crestline, died at
       the home of her daughter, MRS. GEORGE ECKSTINE, in San-
       dusky township, Sunday, March 30 in the sixty-seventh
       year of her age.
         Her maiden name was LAVINA EASTERDAY, and she wasa born
       in Chatfield township, April 25, 1852, her parents soon
       removing to Vernon township. On Jan. 24, 1871, she was
       married to CHARLES A. BROWN, and by this union there were
       twelve children, nine of whom survive, eight sons and a
       daughter: WILLIS of Bucyrus, CHARLES ALBERTUS and MILTON
       F., of Sandusky township; WALDO F., of Billings, Okla.,
       Capt. CARL. A., of Bucyrus; FLOYD E., of Sandusky town-
       ship, DORA, married to GEORGE ECKSTINE, of Sandusky
       township, E. J., a student at Huron Road Hospital, Cleve-
       land, and SAMUEL E., of Company A, who has been fighting
       in France, and reached American soil Monday morning, 
       where with him the rejoicing of return is saddened by
       the sorrowful news of his mother's death.
         Orders had been issued to discharge SAMUEL E. BROWN,
       at the earliest possible moment after his arrival, to
       permit him to return to the bedside of his ailing 
       mother, but death outstripped the incoming transport,
       and Private BROWN learned on arrival in New York Mon-
       day morning of the death of his mother as his trans-
       port was steaming toward Sandy Hook and home, Sunday.
         Besides the children she leaves a brother and sister,
       SAMUEL EASTERDAY of Crestline and ROSANNA, wife of
       JOHN SMITH of Shelby. There are fourteen grandchildren.
         The funeral took place on Wednesday at 1 p.m., from
       the home of MILTON F. BROWN in Sandusky township, with
       burial in the Sandusky township graveyard, Rev. F. H.
       Keller officiating.
