Brown, formerly of Maynard, died in Skowhegan, Maine, Saturday night, Dec. 27, aged 78 years.  The immediate cause of his death was a shock.  He had been stricken about four years ago and had not fully recovered when the second and fatal shock came.  He left Maynard five years ago to go to Maine where he has since made his home with a family by the name of Deane.  The body was brought to Maynard Monday and taken  in charge by Undertaker O.S.
