Uncle Brown Rosenbum, one of the pioneers of South Dunklin County, died at the home of his son, Milton, near Beech Corner, Friday, March the 4th, and was buried by the side of the remains of his late wife who proceeded him about three years, in the McGrew cemetery, Sunday morning. The funeral services was conducted by a minister of the Christian church, whose name we have been unable to learn, and was attended by a large number of friends and relatives.
Since the death of his wife about three years ago, he had made his home with son, Milton, and for a period of several months had been in rather poor health. He, however, had been confined to his bed only a few days at the time of his death.
In keeping with a request he had made, that he did not want to be hauled to his resting place in any of these new fangled hearses, the body was conveyed to the burial place in a dray wagon drawn by a team of horses, driven by drayman "Jumbo" Perry of Senath. He is said to have remarked that he had not come into this world so fast, and that he didn't want to be hurried out of it.
He is survived by two sons, Tom and Milton, and two daughters, Mrs. Billie Palmer and Mrs. Lewis Ford.
He was a member of the Christian church and had been a member for many years.
Uncle Brown, as he was called by his friends and acquaintances, owned a good, well improved farm just south of Beech Corner school house, which he settled as a young man, and where he raised his family. He had many friends among his wide acquaintance.
