Victim Great White Plague
Anson Browne Stricken in Prime of Life. Funeral at Christian Church Thursday
    Anson Browne, eldest son of the late Dr. W. S. and Mrs. Browne died
Tuesday forenoon at his home on Camp Avenue following a lingering illness
with lung trouble. The disease first manifested itself three years ago while

About two months ago, realizing that the end was near, he came with his
little family to Watseka to be among relatives.
    Anson was born at Woodland, December 10, 1878 and was 38 years old.
The family moved to Watseka in 1892. Anson entered High School,
graduating with the class of '95.
    He afterward went to a farm in Missouri. In 1908 he was married at
Kansas City to Miss Iva Schultz, a former Watseka girl. She and their two
children, Jerome, aged 5 and Imogene, aged 2 years, survive.
    Other relatives are his mother, Mrs. Keziah Browne, two brothers, Sheriff
H. M. Browne and William Browne, a sister, Mrs. J. A. Wilson all of Watseka
and another sister, Mrs. Franc Coates of Oklahoma City.
    After leaving the farm he was employed in Kansas City as baggage clerk
for the Kansas City & Southern Railway.
    Old friends here and at Woodland will sympathize with the bereaved
relatives in the taking off of this young man in the very prime of life.
    Funeral services will be held at the Christian Church, Thursday afternoon
at 2 o'clock. Burial will be at Oak Hill.
