Weed Rebecca

Notes:

Rebecca Wood, age 17, and William Brown, age 25, both of Preston, NY were married in February of 1819. Their first child, Thurlow Weed Brown was born to them later in the same year.

In an article printed in the Auburn daily paper, a notice of her illness was given, an abstract of the article;
April 4, 1857:
Mrs. William (Rebecca) Brown, mother of T. W. and Emma Brown, editors of Cayuga Chief is lying dangerously ill in Auburn. Recovery is extrememly doubtful. Miss Emma Brown is daily expected in Auburn from Wisconsin..

In the obituary published in the Auburn paper, it mentions that she was of unusually active and powerful mind. A most beautiful tribute to a mother ever rendered by a son is in his letter, "Why I am a Temperance Man". She was in her 55th year of age, an uncomplaining sufferer for a long time. The Chief [Editor, Thurlow W. Brown] was deeply attached to his mother; news of death will fall severely upon him in his far off home in the West. (Wisconsin)

Funeral services services were held at Friday, 2 p.m., the home of husband, William Brown on 46 Orchard Street.

Rebecca married Brown William in Feb 1819 in Preston, Chenango Co., NY. William (son of BROWN Wright Samuel and NEWLAND Hannah, son of BROWN Wright Samuel and OLNEY Bethiah) was born in 1794 in Stillwater, Saratoga Co., NY; died in 1878 in Fort Atkinson, Jefferson Co., WI; was buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Fort Atkinson, Jefferson Co., WI.
