By 1860, Isaac had moved to Buchanon Township, in Jefferson County, Iowa
where he operated a coal mine. His property was worth $6,000, his personal
estate was valued at $800, and he had eight children living with him. By
1867, Isaac had moved to a farm near Brighton, Washington County, Iowa.
In April, 1881, Isaac and his family moved to Fremont, Nebraska.
In 1894, the year of his father's funeral, Isaac was living in Hooper, NE.
In the 1900 census, Isaac H. Brown was living in the Norfolk Hospital for
the Insane in the Norfolk Precinct of Madison County, Nebraska. The record
shows he was born in April of 1822 in Pennsylvania and that both parents were
from Pennsylvania. His profession was blacksmith.
In the 1900 census, Sarah Ellen Brown, Isaac's wife, lived in Fremont, NE.
The record shows she was the head of household and living with one daughter--
Maud P. Brown. She had been married 55 years and 11 of her 12 children were
still living. She was born June 1826, age 73 years. She was born in
Pennsylvania, her father was from Pennsylvania, and her mother was born at
sea.
While living in Fremont Sarah Ellen taught Louis Clark Brown to read.
On December 6, 1901 both Isaac and Sarah Ellen died. He died first and
Sarah Ellen died about an hour later.
From The Fremont Herald, Saturday, December 7, 1901:
DOUBLE FATALITY
DEATH OF MR. AND MRS. ISAAC H. BROWN LAST NIGHT.
Died Within a Half Hour, Without Warning
IN DEATH THEY WERE NOT DIVIDED.
Isaac H. Brown, one of the old settlers of Dodge County, died at his home,
435 west 11th street, at 10:30 last night of heart trouble (or more
properly, angina pectoris). Thirty minutes later, his wife, Sarah E.,
passed away, her death being caused by shock and heart failure.
Mr. and Mrs. Brown were both to their usual health at supper time last
night. Mr. Brown complained of slight pains in his chest later in the
evening, but no alarm at his condition was felt.
At about 10 o'clock Dr. Smith was summoned to the Brown home, but Mr. Brown
passed away before his arrival. He returned to his home and was just
preparing to retire when another call came. He hastily retraced his steps
and found Mrs. Brown breathing her last. Such a tragic ending has rarely
had a parallel.
Mr. Brown was born in Huntington county, Pa., in 1822. He came West in
1841, and located in Jefferson county, Iowa, where he engaged in the
blacksmithing business. Later he operated a coal mine near the same
place.
He was united in marriage in January, 1844, to Sarah E. Fee. Mr. and
Mrs. Brown came to Dodge County in April, 1881, and located on a farm in
Nickerson township. They were parents of twelve children, eleven of whom
are now living-- several of them in this city. Among them are Will S.,
Clark H., and Frank F., all well known and respected citizens.
The funeral notice:
LAST RITES FOR THE DEAD
GREAT OUTPOURING AT THE BROWN FUNERAL YESTERDAY
MUCH ELABORATE DECORATION
Long Line of Carriages Escorts Two Caskets to the Grave After Services at
First Presbyterian Church
A throng of people that filled the First Presbyterian church to its utmost
capacity assembled at two o'clock yesterday afternoon for the funeral services
over the remains of Isaac H. Brown and Sarah E. Brown. Remembrance of the
sudden manner in which the aged couple were summoned from their earthly cares
and a desire to accord them tribute of respect due to those who have lived
long honorable lives combined to make the occation capable of producing lasting
impressions upon the minds of those present.
The two caskets, exactly alike in every respect, occupied the usual place
beneath the altar during the ceremonies at the church, which were very simple.
Floral decorations of great beauty spread themselves through the front portion
of the building. Ferns, palms, roses and other flowers and trailing smilax
vines mingled with somber drapery to indicate the nature of the gathering.
The decorations on the caskets were elaborately arranged. Between thirty-
five and forty persons sat in front pews as mourners...
The pall bearers were the six sons of Mr. and Mrs Brown, as follows: W.S.
Brown, Frank Brown and H.C. Brown of this city, Fred Brown of Hooper, H.W.
Brown of Salt Lake City and J.E. Brown of Chariton, Iowa...
The relatives of the deceased from outside the city were: Mr. and Mrs. H.W.
Brown, Salt Lake City; Mr. and Mrs. Henry Pickard, Pleasant Plain, Iowa;
Mr. and Mrs. J.E. Brown, Chariton, Iowa; Fred Brown, Hooper; Mrs. Anice
Porter, Alexis, IL.
