Death of J. T. Brown
It is doubtful if the death of any person could have caused more regret than that of Jefferson T. Brown, who passed away at his home at “Home Comfort” on West Main street, Saturday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock. Mr. Brown had been in poor health for the past six weeks, having had an attack of appendicitis and owing to his advanced age the doctors thought best not to operate for. He seemed to be improving nicely until the death of his sister, Mrs. J. A. Staysa, and from that time he gave up interest in life and gradually sank away.
Mr. Brown was born in Scips, Seneca County, [corrected, possibly by Fred H. Brown, to say Milo, Yates County] March 30, 1850, and was the son of William H. and Jane Eleanor Brown. He had spent the greater part of his life in Yates and Ontario counties where he was in the hotel business for about forty-three years.
There are many interesting facts in regards to Mr. Brown’s connection with the hotel business, one being that he himself was a man of strict temperate habits, and his hotels were always known for their high character, and many a traveling man has been known to exclaim that they would go twenty miles in order to put up at the Brown Hotel. Mr. Brown was also much interested in good horses, and was able to give the pedigree of many of the best ones.
When about twenty one years of age Mr. Brown was united in marriage to Miss Alice Stebbins of Branchport, who died about twelve years ago.
Seven years ago Mr. Brown came to Alden to live and during that time has made himself generally liked because of his kind, courteous, and gentlemanly manners and while of a good nature, he made many friends.
Mr. Brown leaves to mourn his death one brother Emmett E. Brown of Denver, Colo., and a sister, Miss Mary M. Brown of Alden, also a brother-in-law, John A. Staysa.
In accordance with his wishes a brief funeral was conducted from his home Monday morning at 8 o’clock and his remains were taken to Gorham and buried in the family lot in the village cemetery.
In the 1880 census, Jeff and his wife, Alice, were living with his father and mother in Milo, Yates county,NY. Both he and his father were in the hotel business.
