Braden, Nellie -- Monday. The home of E.W. and Jennie Braden has been darkened by the shadow of death passing over it, taking away their beautiful and lovely daughter Nellie, aged 17 years, 4 months and 14 days. Death came in the silent form of la grippe and after lingering three weeks, on the morning of the 2d. inst., she quietly passed away. Her life, though short, was grand.

Bradford, Frances Ellen "Aunty" -- After an illness of a year and a half, Aunty Bradford passed to rest at 8 o'clock Tuesday evening. Hers is a remarkable character and she deserves more than a passing notice. She was probably born in South Carolina. Some who are well acquainted with her say she was born in Texas. At any event, she was in Texas in the family of Sam Houston, her father being intimate with the family. Her mother was a light mulatto and her father, according to her repeated statement was an Indian chief. The features of the deceased showed both the Negro and Indian blood. Her complexion was dark and her hair curly. Her arms, however, were as white as those of a white person. At an early age she went to New York City. Here she married a colored coachman and had one child, a daughter, who died at an early age. About thirty-four years ago she came to Mansfield with her husband. At the breaking out of the war her husband joined the 32nd. regiment as cook. Aunty Bradford was the companion of Col. Ford's daughter and witnessed many of the scenes of the rebellion. After the war she returned to Mansfield with her husband. In a few years they bought the property which she owned at the time of her death on Marion Avenue. The husband died a dozen or more years ago and since then she has been dependent solely upon herself. She was in debt for her house but that debt she had raised and when she was taken sick, her resources were such that she was absolutely independent. The young people of the Congregational Church, and other members, rendered her assistance which was unsolicited in the last moments of her life. Aunty Bradford's correct name was Frances Ellen Bradford. She belonged to the Congregational Church for a number of years and was always a liberal giver and an earnest worker. The children and the poor of Mansfield have the greatest reason to mourn her loss. Comparatively uneducated, she exerted an influence that was remarkable. Her executive ability was the finest. When the church gave dinners at the state fairs, she assumed control of everything and the success of the enterprise was due to her. Aunty Bradford's home is a model of neatness. The walls are decorated with pictures given her by the children. Photographs stand out from every nook and corner and her collection embraces the faces of many of the first people of Mansfield. By her will she leaves her entire property to the church after all debts have been paid. She had no relatives that she knew of. There is a good deal of disagreement as to her age. It is certain that she did not know it herself. For many years she gave what she called birthday parties to the children. These occasions did not always come on the same day and it is said she celebrated her fiftieth birthday several different years. The best authorities put her age in the neighborhood of seventy years. She told one person that she was seventy-four years of age last year. Dr. Purdy Sturges made a post mortem examination of the remains yesterday morning in the presence of Drs. Mitchell, Loughridge, Patterson and McCullough. The cause of death was found to be malignant disease of omentum, involving the peritonetim. The funeral services were held in the Congregational Church on Thursday, July 14, at 4 p.m. Members of the Children's Home and Sabbath School are especially invited to attend, and all the children are requested to bring a single flower or a sprig of evergreen to place upon the casket. -- [Mansfield Weekly News: 14 July 1887, Vol. 3, No. 33]

Bradley, George -- George Bradley, who resides at No. 254 North Sugar Street, was found dead in bed this morning. The deceased was about 59 years of age and leaves a wife to mourn his loss. He served his country in the war of the rebellion and is a laborer by occupation. Mr. Bradley had been afflicted with asthma for some years and it is thought that he was also a victim of heart trouble. Last night he appeared to be in about his usual health. It is stated that he sat up until quite late in the evening reading. When he retired to his bed room on the second floor of the house he did not complain of being ill. It seems that Bradley slept in a room by himself. He did not appear at the usual time this morning for breakfast and when the members of the family went to his room at 8 o'clock to awaken him they found him lying in bed dead. The coverings were tucked about his chin and in no way disturbed, showing that he had died without a struggle. Coroner Baughman was summoned immediately. The latter made an examination and gave it as his opinion that Mr. Bradley had been dead at least six or eight hours and possibly since midnight. The body was entirely stiff and cold. From what the doctor learned from the relatives of the deceased he thinks that heart trouble was the cause of his death. Coroner Baughman will probably hold an inquest sometime Saturday. The deceased, it is stated, refused to take medicine when he was ill during the latter years of his life. Mr. Bradley was a member of the 6th. Ohio Light Artillery. Funeral services Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. [Semi-Weekly News (Mansfield): 05 April 1898, Vol. 14, No. 27]

Bradner, Robert -- A man was found dead on the P.F.W.&C. track at Crestline this morning. He was a stranger, but from papers found on his person, it is supposed to be Robt. Bradner, of Canada. His body was badly mangled and it was almost impossible to distinguish his features. The man was about 35 years old. A small sum of money was found on his person. From the position in which the body was found it is thought that Bradner sat down on the end of the ties to rest and fell asleep with the usual result. He did not hear the approaching train and was struck by the beam of the engine, knocked over on the track and the train ran over him. -- [Richland Shield & Banner: 11 May 1889, Vol. LXXI, No. 51] *a similar notice of Mr. Bradner's death can be found in the 02 May 1889 edition of the Mansfield Herald.

Brice, Catherine Olivia -- MRS. BRICE -- Wanted to Die Within Two Years After Her Husband's Demise. SHE WAS BORN IN MANSFIELD IN 1840. During Her Distinguished Husband's Career She Was a Social Leader in Washington and the Fashionable Watering Places of the East -- She was Charitable and Sympathetic. -- NEW YORK, DEC. 17 -- Catherine Oliva [sic.] Brice, widow of the late Senator Calvin S. Brice, of Ohio, died Saturday. She suffered from Bright's disease and heart trouble. For the last four weeks Mrs. Brice had been unable to lay down on bed or couch. Though deeply regretted by her many friends in New York as it will be by hundreds in Ohio, death came as a great relief. Almost in her dying moments Mrs. Brice alluded with feeling to the fact that exactly two years had elapsed since her husband passed away, and, knowing that her illness was incurable, she expressed a wish that she might be taken on the same day. So she did, for Senator Brice passed away two years ago Saturday. Mrs. Brice was devotedly attached to her husband, so much so that a friend of the family said that she had been dying ever since death separated them. She died at her home, No. 693 Fifth avenue. Mrs. General W. P. Orr, of Piqua, and two other sisters of Mrs. Brice have been with the deceased much of the time that she has been ill. George M. Meilly, Mrs. Brice's brother, was in New York, too. The devotion of the four sisters was of a very touching nature, and the sorrow of those who remain will be shared in many homes. Mrs. Brice was born on August 16, 1840, in Mansfield, O., where now live several relatives. Her marriage to the late Senator Brice took place about thirty years ago in Lima. Mrs. Brice was widely identified with society in New York, Newport, and Washington. During her husband's term as senator the entertainments at the Corcoran House, which Mr. Brice leased for several years, were among the most famous in the national capital. In Newport also Mrs. Brice's memory will live for many years as one of the most gracious hostesses in that renowned wintering place. At different times the Brice's were occupants of Stone Villa, in Bellevue avenue; The Fearing Villa, and for several seasons just before Senator Brice's death, of Beaulieu, the villa of William Waldorf Astor, where their entertainments were on the most lavish scale Aside from her life in the world of society, Mrs. Brice was a sympathetic and philanthropic woman always aiding those struggling in their desire to gain headway in education, music or the arts. She was personally devoted to music, and had defrayed the expenses of study abroad with great musicians of several children of her schoolgirl friends. Mrs. Brice is survived by three sons and two daughters -- Captain Stuart Meily Brice, who served in Cuba during the late war, and who is a member of the new York Board of Aldermen: Kirkpatrick Brice, who has traveled much in China in arranging railway matters there, and who was in that country when his father died, and John Brice and the Misses Helen and Kate Brice. There were brief funeral services at the Brice home, No. 693 Fifth avenue, this morning. The burial will take place in Lima, where Senator Brice is buried. Submitted by Sally.

Broadwell, Mrs. C.S. -- Entered into eternal life, Thursday morning, August 23d., 1883, Mrs. C.S. Broadwell, wife of Rev. J.S. Broadwell, aged 49 years and 11 months. Mrs. Broadwell was born at Dalton, Wayne county, O., in September, 1833, and in 1854 was united in marriage with Rev. J.S. Broadwell, who in that year entered upon his ministerial labors. With him she shared the joys and sorrows, the pleasures and discomforts incident to the itinerant ministry, and during a period of nearly thirty years was the faithful helper of her husband in his labors of love. A fervent Christian, a true and noble wife, and a loving mother, her life was a constant benison to those related by the ties of nature, and to numerous circles of friends to whom she became endeared in the communities in which the family have resided. During her sickness, which was of long duration, she manifested a patience and resignation in keeping with her implicit faith in God, and while expressing a desire to live for the sake of her family, was ready for the Saviour’s call, and when the summons came, she passed from earth to heaven in the glorious triumph of a blessed immortality. The funeral services of the deceased were held in the Methodist church, Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock, the church being filled to overflowing with sorrowing friends. Floral tributes beautiful and appropriate in design, and many in number, the offerings of loving friends were distributed about the pulpit and chancel. One of the most beautiful was a piece representing the “Gages Ajar” composed of white roses and heliotropes, at the entrance to the gates bearing the appropriate inscription “Rest”. This piece was the offering of the Ladies’ Aid and Missionary Society. Another of the floral pieces was a beautiful “Cross and Crown” of roses resting upon a base, representing a harvest field in which the wheat stubble, showing that the reapers had garnered the harvest, gave an appropriate portrayal of “The Field of Life”. A floral pillow bearing the word “Mother”, a harp, three beautiful crosses, an anchor and cross, a boat and beautiful wreaths and rigs, all the offerings of friends, formed decorations varied and appropriate in design. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. E.Y. Warner, Presiding Elder of the Mansfield District, assisted by Rev. Dr. Hoyt, of Cincinnati, Rev. Pearsons of Ashland, and Rev. A.J. Lyon of Berea. After the singing of several appropriate selections by the choir, prayer was offered by Dr. Hoyt, after which the choir sang “The Home of the Soul” one of the favorite songs of the deceased. Rev. Pearsons read from the 21^st. chapter of Revelation, when Rev. Warner delivered a discourse from the text, “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” Following the discourse remarks were made by Dr. Hoyt and Rev. Lyon, the latter speaking touchingly of his long and intimate acquaintance with the departed and her husband and the similar bereave – he sustained while at this pastorate. The funeral cortege left the parsonage about 4 P.M. and the remains were placed in the cemetery vault whence they will be removed to the next home of the pastor and his family.

Brown, Hicks -- "Death loves a shining mark." The force of this expression is made sadly true in the death of Mr. Hicks Brown, of this city, Wednesday the 17th. inst. Something over two weeks ago, Mr. Brown was taken ill with an attack of typhoid fever. His disease, which at first seemed a mild form, suddenly assumed the most alarming symptoms, added to this he suffered several hemorrhages of the bowels. He was afflicted with intense pain during his sickness, but bore his disease with a fortitude and patience that was truly wonderful. The very best medical skill was employed and all the attention that a fond wife and loving mother, sister, brothers and friends could bestow, was given him, but all to no purpose and on Wednesday morning he passed quietly away. Hicks Brown was born in North Bloomfield, Trumbull County, Ohio, December 30th., 1849. From Bloomfield his parents removed to Massillon, when he was but five years old. Massillon was his home until 1875, when he came to Mansfield, and with M.D. Harter, his brother-in-law, organized The Hicks Brown Company, and actively engaged in the milling business. Mr. Brown was the president of the above firm at his death, and its present success is greatly due to his efforts. On December 12th., 1878, Mr. Brown married Miss Carrie Jacobs, daughter of John Jacobs, of Massillon. Mr. Brown had a quiet, gentle and pleasing way about him, which won for him a host of friends. In fact, during his last sickness there seemed to be an unusual solitude among our citizens as to his condition, and when the sad news of his death was announced it cast a gloom over all and called forth sincere expressions of regret for his demise. As a business man, Mr. Brown was scrupulously careful, painstaking, and the very soul of honor. Through his efforts he had built up a business which will be his best monument. He leaves besides his wife, his mother, Mrs. Jas. M. Brown, of Massillon, two brothers, J.E. Brown and Huntington Brown, the latter a twin brother, and a sister, Mrs. M.D. Harter of this city. The funeral took place from his late home on West Market Street, on Friday, December 19th., and was largely attended. The services were conducted by Rev. Frank Russell, of the Congregational Church. The remains were taken the same afternoon to Massillon for interment. On account of the lateness of the train the friends did not arrive at Massillon with the body until six o'clock. Short services were held at the cemetery by Rev. Russell and Rev. N.P. Bailey of the Presbyterian Church of Massillon. The remains were placed for the present in the vault at that place. Owing to the serious illness of Mrs. Brown she was unable to accompany the remains of her husband to Massillon. His relatives, stricken with grief, have our sympathy in their bereavement. -- [THE MANSFIELD HERALD: 25 December 1884, Vol. 35, No. 6]

Brown, Huntington -- Huntington Brown, a former resident and mayor of Mansfield, and who last fall was appointed a member of the Richland County Liquor License Commission, and who was well known to many in this place, died at the home of his sister-in-law, in Massillon, Sunday evening, having just passed his 66th. year. The deceased was a staunch republican and was well known throughout Ohio. -- [Plymouth Advertiser: 14 February 1914, Vol. 61, No. 13]

Brown, Huntington -- The remains of Huntington Brown were taken to Massillon this morning for burial.

Brown, Isabel Hurxthal - Isabel Hurxthal Brown, wife of James E. Brown, of this city, died at her home on Sturges Avenue this morning 11:30 o'clock, after a severe illness, covering some weeks, during which she was a great sufferer. Mrs. Brown was a daughter of the late Lewis Hurxthal, Jr., of New York, and was born at Massillon, O., on April 1st., 1852, and was, therefore, 39 years of age. She lived in Mansfield for about a dozen years and in both church and social life was an important and useful factor. A member of Grace church, she was a most active worker, and in no place, except her home, will she be missed as much. Bright, amiable, sympathetic and sociable in her nature, she will long be missed and always kindly remembered. Her husband and son have the warm sympathy of this entire community. The funeral services will take place at her late home on Thursday, at 4 o'clock p.m. -- [Richland Shield & Banner: 11 July 1891, Vol. LXXIV, No. 8]

Brown, J. Orrville -- It was sad news to the people of Massillon that came to us last Saturday of the death of Mr. J. Orrville Brown at his home in Mansfield. Mr. Brown had a sunstroke last summer, and never fully recovered from its effect. He had been confined to bed for about ten weeks before his death, but only his relatives knew that he was so near the end of life. Mr. Brown was fifty years old lat July, and a son of the late Wm. Brown. In all the relations of life he was an honorable, upright man. Mr. Brown was a native of Massillon (OH), and lived here until about eight years ago when he removed to Mansfield. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon from the residence of Mrs. Wm. Brown, corner South and Hill Streets, and was largely attended. [Mansfield Herald: 25 November 1886]

Brown, J.E. -- Crestline. J.E. Brown, the Pennsylvania fireman, injured at the roundhouse July 17, died at the Pennsylvania company's hospital Sunday night. [Mansfield News: 01 August 1899]

Brown, J.T. -- J.T. Brown, a fireman on the P.F. met with fatal injuries this morning at Crestline, between 2 and 3 o'clock. Mr. Brown had been a fireman on the road only but three months. This morning, while his engine was being taken out of the round house the young man leaned too far out of his cab and his head struck against the building, jerking him from the cab and hurling him to the ground, where his arm was thrown under the engine wheels and horribly crushed. Surgical assistance was secured and it was found necessary to amputate the arm. the victim was also crushed about the chest and it is thought that there is no chance for his recovery. His parents who reside at New Castle, Pa., were notified immediately of their son's accident. The unfortunate young man is unmarried and resides with his parents. [Mansfield News: 17 July 1899]

Brown, Jacob -- Jacob Brown will be remembered by many old residents as one of the civil engineers who was in the employ of the P.F. railroad when it was located and built and later city civil engineer of Mansfield. For years Jacob Brown has resided at Huron, South Dakota, and of his death the Dakota Huronite of May 4 says: Jacob Brown died at his home in this city Thursday morning at 10 o'clock after a painful illness at the advanced age of 77 years. Jacob Brown was born in the state of Ohio, Stark County, in 1822. He very early in life learned civil engineering and has followed this profession through life. He was city engineer of Mansfield, Ohio, for several years and voluntarily resigned this position to emigrate to western Illinois, where he was engaged in railroad construction and land surveying. Having been in the employ of the C. & N.W. R.R. company for many years, when they began building in this state he was sent to South Dakota coming here in 1879. He continued in the employ of the company until failing health compelled his retirement from the arduous duties of engineer. Mr. Brown was one of the surveyors in charge of the construction of the Northwestern into Huron and was employed on the building of all the branches of the system in this state. From 1880 to 1897 he resided with his family at Volga, Brookings County, and was postmaster of that town for several years but was finally removed by a hostile administration for alleged pernicious political activity. Mr. Brown removed to Huron in 1897, but since coming here his health has not permitted him to engage in any active pursuit. The deceased was a Mason for years, and at the time of his death was a member of the Volga Lodge A.F. & A.M. He was a man of strong conviction and led a useful and active life. He leaves a wife and three children to mourn his death. [Mansfield News: 10 May 1899]

Brown, Jacob R. -- Jacob R. Brown peacefully departed this life at 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon at his residence, 212 South Main Street, corner of Lexington Avenue. Mr. Brown was born in Northampton County, Pa., Oct. 21, 1825. While quite young he removed with his parents to the state of New York, and when 19 years of age he came to Medina County, Ohio, and afterwards settled at Wadsworth. He was married March 18, 1846, to Margaretta Bowden, of Wadsworth, by whom he had eight children, all of whom with his wife survive him and are now living in this city: James Winfield, Lowell Thomas, George Lyman, Mrs. H.M. Browning, Mrs. Harvey Woods, Mrs. Eugene Lindsey, Mrs. Wm. Ackerman, Jr., and Miss Ida Clare. In 1868 Mr. Brown removed to this city, where, with his son, J.W., he entered the employ of J.H. Reed & Bro., wholesale notion dealers. In December, 1878, with his sons J.W. and L.T., he bought the horses and wagons of the defunct firm of Reed & Bro. and for several years they carried on their business throughout the state by means of wagons. In 1876 they opened a store in the I.O.O.F. block and, these quarters becoming too small, they built the new building on North Main Street and into this they moved in January 1887, where they continued to carry on the wholesale notion business under the firm name of J.R. Brown & Sons. By frugality and business ability, J.R. Brown rose step by step until at the time of his death he had acquired a goodly share of wealth. He was once a candidate on the Republican ticket for county treasurer, but was defeated. He never occupied an office with the exception of member of the city board of elections, of which he was president at the time of his demise. He was a member of Venus Lodge, No. 152, F. & A.M. The funeral services will be conducted by Dr. Hubbell, of whose congregation he was a member, Monday at 2 p.m., at the Congregational church. Mr. Brown was the first Worshipful Master the Wadsworth Masonic Lodge ever had. The services at the house and at the grave will be under the auspices of Venus Lodge, No. 152. -- [Richland Shield & Banner: 28 October 1893, Vol. LXXVI, No. 23]

Brown, James -- James Brown of Sharon Township, Richland County, Ohio, died on Wednesday, August 19th, A.D. 1885, aged 91 years, 6 months, and one day. Mr. Brown was born in Wellsburg, Brooke County, West Virginia, February 18th, 1794. He was married to Miss Jane McGuire on June 2nd, A.D. 1814, with whom he lived fifty-five years, and to whom were born ten children, eight of whom they raised to full age, and five of whom only survive him, viz., Danforth, Oliver, Sally, Harriet, and Martha. He also had nineteen grandchildren, and seven great grandchildren. Mr. Brown died on a farm on which the deceased had moved fifty years ago last May. His remains were interred in Oakland Cemetery in Shelby, on Friday last, at about noon, Rev. W.W. Anderson pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Bellville officiated, and at the home preached a short discourse based on the sixth verse of the 90th Psalm, "In the evening it is cut down and withereth." He was severely and painfully ill only the last few days of his life. His wife was a devoted Catholic, but he was brought up in the Presbyterian faith, though never formally uniting with that church. He moved to this locality about the year 1834, perhaps a few years after, having purchased the farm on which he spent the best part of his years about 1820, 65 years ago and resided upon it as his homestead about fifty years last May. His wife died about sixteen years ago, since which time he has resided with his children. He is the last of a family of twelve children who lived to a great old age. His father before him lived to be over ninety-two years old. He was the son of Capt. Oliver Brown, of Revolutionary fame, who was a native of Lexington, Mass., and took part in that, the first battle of the Revolutionary war. His ancestors came from England, and of them but little is known except that one of them was a "sea captain." The Browns were amongst the first who settled in the colony of Massachusetts, and were loyal subjects of the English crown, but as the years rolled on their attachment became stronger for their home, and they began to regard the mother country as a cruel tyrant. Although Capt. Brown was born in Lexington, he spent his earlier years in Cambridge, with a Mr. (Col.) Thatcher (married to one of Oliver's cousins), of whose family he became a member at the age of eight. Captain Brown happened to be in Boston on the day the tea was thrown overboard, and he saw the party dressed in the garb of Mohawk Indians, as they threw the boxes of tea overboard. His father was to relate how that act had worked up the feelings of the royalists and the patriots to the highest pitch of excitement. It was then and there he resolved to devote his life, if need be, to the cause of his country. He became a warrior in feeling and in deed. He was engaged at the Battle of Lexington. He well remembered the day on which Lord Percy marched from Boston to reinforce the party who had gone to undertake the destruction of the military stores at Concord, and was with those who met the British troops at Lexington on their return, and was engaged in that skirmish although he escaped uninjured himself, saw his comrades fall by his side, cut down by the first
discharge of British artillery in the Revolutionary War. When the British began to retreat to Boston, he was one of those who hung upon their flanks, and annoyed them with shots from behind stone fences until they came within reach of the guns in the fortifications around Boston. The War had now commenced and peaceful avocations were laid aside, and thousands rushed to Bunker Hill where that great battle was fought June 17, 1775. He was in that battle where Warren fell, and soon after received a Captain's commission in the Artillery, having command of two field pieces. After the evacuations he went with General Washington's army to New York, and was engaged in a battle on the Island. Those who are conversant with history will remember how a party of soldiers saw a statue of King George of England occupying a prominent position in the streets of New York, an object of peculiar hatred to the American soldiers. Capt. Brown conceived the idea of removing the offensive monument and at night he went with a party of about forty of his comrades about half of whom were sailors. The sailors fastened strong ropes to the object of their hatred, and he and his comrades in a dark alley opposite pulled at the ropes until the rope broke, the statue fell to the pavement below, outside the iron fence enclosing it. The news of the occurrence spread throughout the camp. Unexpectedly the act met with the strongest condemnation from General Washington which caused Captain Brown always to regret his part in that transaction. However, in the pursuance of orders, he removed the statue from its iron support to the laboratory to be molded into bullets for the use of the army. Although the act could not be concealed, the perpetrators of it were never known. A short time after this event, General Washington left New York and occupied Harlem Heights, and Captain Brown was in the engagement at that place, in command of thirty men and two field pieces. He had at one time advanced too far in the pursuit of the enemy and found himself in danger of losing his artillery. He seized one of the wagons himself, fifteen of his men having been killed and wounded, and succeeded in getting them away. At that moment General Putnam rode up to him and said "so long as officers will, like you, perform the duties of privates, there will be no reason to despair of the American cause." The General then himself dismounted and aided him in preventing their capture by the British. Captain Brown was next engaged at the Battle of White Plains, in which the Americans were defeated. He was with the American Army during their famous retreats through New Jersey, of which Bancroft speaks, where hundreds of regular troops and militia deserted in despair, but he and his men remained true to the last. The Battle of Trenton and Princeton were next fought in which he participated, which proved that even in defeat, and on the retreat, the race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong. After these battles he was stationed at Round Brook and Mud Fort. In September of the following year he was at the Battle of Brandywine during the whole day. He served nearly through the whole war, and was in ten severe engagements, the last of which was the Battle of Monmouth. He was personally acquainted with General Washington for whom he entertained the highest reverence. He was with him at the Battle of Germantown, going in with sixty men and coming out with only twenty-nine alive and with him also in winter quarters at Valley Forge. He personally received the thanks of Washington for prompt and efficient obedience to orders. In 1790 or 1791 he moved with his family to what is now Wellsburg, West Virginia, where the subject of this notice was born as stated in 1794. At that time Wellsburg was in the midst of a wile and unbroken wilderness, the haunt of wild beasts and savages, and for three years Capt. Brown performed the duties of a militiaman to protect the settlement from the incursion of murderous savages. Solomon Brown of New Haven, Vermont, a brother of the deceased, was also a Revolutionary soldier. In a slip placed in the hands of the writer taken from the Middlebury (Vermont) Free Press, it is stated that he was a man of strong natural powers, of great probity, uncommon firmness of mind and purpose, severe justice and Christian candor and meekness. He held many public trusts, which he discharged with fidelity and promptness. He was one of that class of community who are the support of society, the pillars of the church and the ornament of the state and Republic. Solomon was also a participator in the Battle at Lexington on April 19th, 1775, and had the unrivaled honor of having shed the first British blood in the defense of American liberty! He was also a teenager who is credited with, having spotted the British redcoats coming down the road, ran to the local tavern and alerted Paul Revere and his friends. This Deacon Solomon Brown was a sergeant in the artillery, five years in the Revolution, and a subordinate in his brother's company, we believe. At his death, it was said, he left as a legacy to his family an honest name, a guiltless example and a well-spent life. This was the ancestry from which sprung the subject of this sketch, the late James Brown, one of the pioneers of Shelby. Years ago, he placed in the hands of the write, newspapers from which we have taken the foregoing, with the injunction, that in case of his death, he desired to state that he had during all his life time desired so much as in his power lay to emulate the principles, the patriotism and virtues of his Revolutionary ancestry, and we now are discharging that duty, and fulfilling that promise. James Brown was our special friend, for over thirty years, respected for his manly virtues, steadfast friendship, honest purposes, mildness and generosity of character, candid in all his dealings, and in every grace that goes to cast a halo of glory like that of a setting sun, upon all the past life of an aged man. It was our good fortune to visit him at his home, when he could lengthen out our notice of his death by many instances of his wroth as a man and citizen. He was one of the pioneer merchants and businessmen of Shelby, and closed his life in a model rural home as a farmer, and now at the extraordinary age of nearly ninety-two years, like a ripe shock of corn, and the very appropriate emblem placed upon his coffin by the hands of reverential affection, a miniature sheaf of wheat, full of golden grain, he has been garnered for eternity, to be with those whose example he delighted to follow, and emulated day by day so far as in his power lay. We should not be following his directions were we to say any more than this. It was against his wish that this should be done, but having passed through a long life, in the footsteps of his ancestry, it was one of his ambitions in life to emulate their example and to record this much as an example for his descendants to follow, is why he desired this to be recorded at his death. Peace to his ashes, and may the memory of his private virtues ever be green in the memories of those who follow him. "B." Submitted by Judith. [source unknown]

Bruce, Vincent E. -- Death has again invaded the ranks of Co. M and has borne away another comrade who served amid the vicissitudes of Cuba, only to come home and die. This is the seventh death in Co. M. At 5:15 o'clock Sunday afternoon at the home of his sister, Miss Zina Bruce, at 26 S. Walnut Street, Vincent E. Bruce, one of the youngest members of Co. M, passed away, after having had all the care and attention that loving hearts and willing hands could give. He was one of the recruits to Co. M, was mustered in June 15 last and left the next day for Camp Alger. He was not ill in Cuba except for bowel complaint which was prevalent among the troops. Faithful and well he served with his company, but on the trip from Cuba to Montauk Point, on the transport Mohawk, he took sick and was quite ill at Camp Wikoff. He became enough better, however, to come home and arrived here Sept. 5. Disease had fastened itself upon him, however, and he gradually became worse until death came. The cause of his demise was typhoid malaria, together with pneumonia which set in. Vincent E. Bruce was only 16 years, 10 months and 2 days old. He was born at Millersburg, was the son of Mr. & Mrs. Eli Bruce. He was the youngest son of a family of 14 children and was the only boy. His father died 12 years ago and his mother four years ago. He has been a resident of Mansfield for about two years and made his home with his sister, Miss Zina Bruce, on South Walnut Street, where he died. He has eight sisters living. They are Miss Zina Bruce, of this city, Mrs. Charles Chambers, of Frankfort, Ind., Mrs. Walter Van Meter, of Wooster, Mrs. James DeMiller, Mrs. A.F.

M. -- [Mansfield Semi-Weekly News: 27 September 1898, Vol. 14, No. 80]

Bruce, William H. -- William H. Bruce was born near Harrisburg, Pa., November 18th., 1837, and died August 7th., 1873, aged 35 years, 8 months and 20 days. He was for some eight or ten years a citizen of Shelby, for sometime engaged in business. When the second three months call was issued, he enlisted in the 84th. Regiment O.V.I., and as a first-class soldier served his time; after which he re-enlisted in the three years service 120th. Regiment, O.V.I. Was with his Regiment at Young's Point, Louisiana, where disease for a time disabled him for duty. Met his Regiment before Vicksburg, engaged in the fearful contest until the City fell into the hands of the Union army. Disease again so prostrated him as to necessitate his discharge from the service, which was honorably given on account of disability. When the call was issued for the 100 days service, with health comparatively regained, he was among the first to answer said call, and served his time. As a soldier, he was beloved by his comrades, usually cheerful, looking at the bright side of life as he passed through the varied and trying scenes of his years. The same was true of him as a citizen and friend. So that in his last illness he was for a long time hopeful of his recovery. But when the certain fatality of his disease developed itself, he without a murmur, with fortitude and resignation submitted to that one event which awaits sooner or later all the living. His funeral was conducted, as he requested, with religious services at his home, and the attendance of the I.O.O.F. of which he was a member, and the Grand Army. His mortal remains were consigned to their earthly rest in Oakland Cemetery, with the burial services of the above named Order, and with the honors of war. The funeral procession was one of the largest ever seen here. He leaves his youthful companion, and three interesting little girls, together with many relatives and friends to lament his early departure from the active scenes of this busy world. There is one more grave of Shelby's soldier heroes, where at to linger with affections tear, and whereon to cast memory's floral wreath; beautiful and appropriate emblem of the immortality of the redeemed of the Lord. -- N.H.L.

Brunner, Henry G. -- FRIENDS PAY RESPECTS TO H.G. BRUNNER -- More than 450 business associates, civic leaders and long-time friends of Henry G. Brunner, including a number from out of town, paid final tribute to the retired bank president and former political leader during services Saturday afternoon at the Wappner Funeral Home. The Rev. John R. Long, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church of which Mr. Brunner had been a lifelong member, conducted the rites and read favorite passages from the Scripture. Mr. Brunner had led an active and vigorous life but in death he sought simplicity and at his expressed wishes there was no eulogy nor was the casket opened. Hundreds of beautiful floral tributes lined the rooms of the funeral home. The Rev. Long concluded the rites with verses from John, the Gospel: "Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you." Following the brief services interment was made in the family plot at Mansfield Cemetery. Serving as pallbearers were associates of Mr. Brunner at First National Bank. Among those attending were former Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, Carl V. Weygandt; Donald W. Frease, former president of Empire Steel Corp., now a resident of Dover; and several members of the Ohio Bankers Assn., including John Woodburn, treasurer of Cleveland Trust Co.

Brunner, Henry G. -- HENRY G. BRUNNER, BUSINESS, CIVIC LEADER, DIES AT 78 -- Henry G. Brunner, one of Mansfield's best-known, most highly respected citizens, died last night at his home, 758 Betner Dr. He was 78. Death came less than six months after he announced his decision to retire as president of the First National Bank because of failing health. A robust man all his life, he had developed a heart and circulatory ailment a few years ago which curtailed his activities and in recent months his condition gradually worsened. He had, however, continued his affiliation with the bank as a member of the board of directors and chairman of the executive committee. His passing brought sadness to the hearts of many people in all walks of life, for he was truly "Mr. Mansfield", a title bestowed on him by business associates, friends and acquaintances down through the years. Mr. Brunner's life as a hometown boy who made good in his own surroundings was part of a fast-passing scene of success stories of those who "pulled themselves up by their own bootstraps", a phrase he often used when referring to a man who had made a success in his chosen field without benefit of extensive formal education. From childhood throughout his various endeavors in business, politics and the financial world, he had remained simply "Heinie" Brunner to his host of friends and acquaintances whom he never forgot, no matter what their stations in life. An example of his kindness was seen by those in the bank one day when a little, black-kerchiefed German lady, evidently a new arrival in this country, came into the bank accompanied by a younger man, to put her savings into the bank. After asking to see Mr. Brunner, they waited patiently in the lobby for the bank president, who extended the same hospitality to the two as he would have to the presidents of the United States with whom he had shaken hands and chatted. Finding she was unable to speak English, Mr. Brunner bent down and, in soft tones, spoke "Dutch", as he called it, to her. Immediately, her eyes lit up and smiling happily, she accompanied him back to his desk to arrange her affairs. It was this humble quality, mixed with an ample share of good-naturedness that had made him one of the most respected men in the city since the turn of the century. Coming from hard-working but modest German parentage, Mr. Brunner knew early in life what it was to earn his own way. While enrolled at old Bushnell school, he arose shortly after 4 a.m. every morning to carry his paper route. In the seventh grade, his family's financial status was such that he quit school to take a job as clerk at the H.L. Reed Co. at $2 per week. Two years later he decided to learn the molder's trade and got a job at Humphryes Manufacturing Co. But the urge to get a surer hold on the future prompted him to leave the factory and at 18 he entered the U.S. mail service between Pittsburgh and Chicago. He served at this job for eight years. At 26, his innate business sense asserted itself and prompted him to purchase the Alois Kessler Insurance Agency. This step, taken in 1910, probably was the foundation on which Mr. Brunner built his career. Two years later he bought an interest in the Mansfield Shield, a morning daily Democratic newspaper, became the paper's advertising manager and later manager and stayed with it until 1919 when the Shield merged with the old Mansfield News. Finding he liked newspaper work, Mr. Brunner bought an interest in the Mansfield Journal in 1924. The Journal was then a new paper and he was manager. He continued as such until 1926 when the Journal was purchased by R.C. Hoiles of the Mansfield News. In the interim between 1918 and 1924, he served as mayor of Mansfield for three consecutive terms, taking office at the age of 33. During this time he compiled a record of civic accomplishment and political good sense that brought him strongly to the attention of state Democratic leaders. Henry Brunner's debut into politics came in 1913 when he was appointed by then-Governor James M. Cox as a member of the Richland County Licensing board. He later served for many years as secretary and treasurer of the Richland County Democratic Executive committee and in 1927 was selected to be chairman of the State Democratic committee to fill a vacancy. He was elected to the chairmanship in 1928 and re-elected again in 1930. It was during his years as state committee chairman that he managed to run campaigns for Al Smith for president and Martin L. Davey for governor, and to run the campaigns for George White for governor and Robert L. Bulkley for senator. Also during this interim, Mr. Brunner himself was named a prospective candidate for the governorship but turned it down. Continuing with active business affiliations, he became president of the Pioneer Storage Co. in 1929. He also was a member of the executive committee of the Mansfield Savings and Trust bank and vice president of the Lincoln Mutual Insurance Co. as well as a director of the Mansfield Hotel Co. and of the Mansfield Asphalt Paving Co. and served on the board of counselors of the Farmers Savings and Trust Co. From 1933 to 1941, Mr. Brunner served as state manager of the Home Owners Loan Corp. with headquarters in Columbus where he gained the background for his later financial career which took him to the presidency of the Mansfield Savings and Trust National Bank and then president of the First National Bank of Mansfield. In 1942 he left the loan corporation to become vice president of Mansfield Savings. A year later he was elevated to the position of executive vice president of the bank and in 1951 was named to the bank presidency upon the death of Charles F. Ackerman, Mr. Brunner remained president of the First National Bank when the Mansfield Savings and the Citizens National Bank consolidated on April 1, 1953. During World War II, Mr. Brunner engineered the Victory Loan drives in Richland County and in every case saw the bond drives go "over the top". Despite his active life, Mr. Brunner was essentially a family man, devoted to his wife who preceded him in death nine years ago, and to his son, daughter and grandchildren. Following his wife's death he had lived at Westbrook Country Club in the summers and at the Mansfield-Leland Hotel in the winters. Several years ago when his health began to fail, his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Richard L. Perl, built an addition to their home at the Betner Dr. address as an apartment for him. It was there that he died. Also surviving are his son, Martin W. Brunner who lives at Lexington, RD 8; five grandchildren, David and Stephen Brunner, and Gregory, Jeffrey and Elizabeth Perl. Also a sister, Mrs. George Hoffman, 466 Lexington Ave., and two nieces, Mrs. Don Borchardt and Mrs. Paul Lee of Mansfield. He was a lifelong member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, a member of all Masonic bodies, Elks, Knights of Pythias, and IOOF Lodges; Westbrook Country Club, the Our Club, 51 Club and was president of the Mansfield Chamber of Commerce. The body is at the Wappner Funeral Home where services will be conducted Saturday at 1 p.m. by his pastor, the Rev. John R. Long. Burial will be in Mansfield Cemetery. Friends may call at the funeral home after 2 p.m. Friday. In compliance with the expressed wishes of Mr. Brunner and members of his family, the casket will be closed. Employees of First National Bank will serve as pallbearers. (Excerpted from the "Mansfield News-Journal", Thursday, January 3, 1963.

Bryner, James -- Was there a crime committed or did James Bryner die of typhoid fever? This is a matter that Coroner William Bushnell is now looking into and it is expected that the autopsy which is being held this afternoon will either decide that the man was poisoned or that he died of typhoid fever. THE CORONER NOTIFIED. Coroner Bushnell was notified of the case Wednesday evening when the president of the board of health of Bloominggrove township informed him of the death Wednesday afternoon about 3 o'clock presumably of typhoid fever, of James Bryner, a farmer living three and a half miles north of Ganges. There has been some suspicion, however, that Bryner had been poisoned and the coroner was asked to look into it. He went to the Bryner home about 7 o'clock in the evening and viewed the body. The Sutter Undertaking company, of Shelby, had charge of the body by the time Dr. Bushnell arrived there. Some witnesses were examined and the case looked into. It was found that there was considerable neighborhood talk. Dr. Bushnell returned home this morning about 1 o'clock and was at Shelby this morning looking for further information in the case. He consulted with Dr. Anderson, who has been treating Mr. Bryner. From him it was learned that the history of the case was that of typhoid fever. Mr. Bryner had been confined to his bed about two weeks and had not been feeling well for about ten days before that, though not bedfast then. All this would tend to indicate that the death was due to typhoid fever and that there was no foul play. Mr. Bryner was 42 years of age, and leaves a wife and two children, aged respectively 9 and 7 years. Another member of the family is a first cousin of Mrs. Bryner. It is the intention to have the matter thoroughly investigated in order that the guilty parties may be brought to justice in case the autopsy shows evidences of poisoning or to exonerate the persons toward whom suspicion is now directed should it be found that Mr. Bryner did die of typhoid fever. HOLDING THE AUTOPSY. Dr. Bushnell went to the Bryner home this afternoon for the purpose of holding the autopsy. He will be assisted by Dr. Anderson and Drs. Lybarger and Kester, of Ganges. He will return home this evening. The time of the funeral has been set for Friday morning at 10 o'clock, but whether it is held at that time depends on the result of the autopsy. There is some strong feeling in the neighborhood over the matter, it is understood. [Mansfield News: 08 August 1901, Vol. 17, No. 135]
