Was Once Noted As A Mining Engineer

Mining men throughout the west and particularly those of Montana
will be surprised to learn of the death Saturday night in this city
of Charles Edward Brown. The end came after a long and hard fight
due to a general breakdown in health, in which Bright's disease
proved the fatal affliction.

Many years ago Mr. Brown was regarded as one of the most capable
mining engineers west of the Rockies and while in Montana was one of
the consulting engineers at Anaconda, of Marcus Daly. He later
operated throughout Colorado, Utah and California and while active
and in good health visited this county several years ago to make
examinations. A few years ago he returned and had perfected
recently a devise with which to work placer mines along Lynx creek.

In prosperity and adversity his faithful wife was with him and when
the end came she was at his side.

Mr. Brown was a native of Cleveland, Ohio, where he was born 69
years ago.

The funeral took place yesterday afternoon from Ruffner's chapel,
and burial was given in the Citizens cemetery. Rev. Lisenby
officiated.

Transcriber's note: Mr. Brown's gravesite at the Citizens Cemetery
is unmarked.
