Weekly Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Wednesday, October 8, 1913, page 1, column 4 (From Tuesday's Daily) 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.
