Notes for WILLIAM LAFAYETTE BROWN:

OBITUARY:  Winston, Forsyth Co. NC, March 17, 1899 --  Winston has lost another valuable citizen in the person of Dr. W.L. Brown. The end came at 6:10 last evening at his home on Spruce street, surrounded by his wife and other loved ones. His death was not unexpected, as he had been in declining health for several years. He sustained a stroke of paralysis about three years ago. He was sent to the Hot Springs and then to Johns Hopkins hospital, but secured very little relief. He had another attack last Saturday and after that time never regained consciousness. The deceased was 68 years old. He was born on January 29th, 1831, near Mocksville, Davie County [NC]. His father, Thomas Brown, was a successful farmer and an honored Elder in the Presbyterian church. Dr. Brown and his only brother, Mr. R.D. Brown, who died in Winston a few years ago, were engaged in the manufacture of tobacco in Mocksville before coming to Winston in 1877. By their energy and fine business qualifications the firm of Brown Brothers built large factories and established a large and prosperous tobacco manufacturing plant in this city. After the death of Mr. R.D. Brown, the firm was dissolved and Dr. Brown and his son, W.T. Brown, who was a member of the old firm for ten years, organized the Brown Bros. Tobacco Company. Dr. Brown was chosen President of the new organization. Associated with him were his son and sons-in-law, W.B. Pollard and W.J. Wolff. The son withdrew about two years ago. The business will be continued by the surviving members of the Company. Dr. Brown married Miss Mary Eliza Chinn, of Farmington, Davie county. While a young man he studied medicine and after graduating was surgeon on one of the steamships and took a trip to one of the foreign countries. After returning, he practised his profession for a few years in Davie county. He leaves a wife and ten children, eight daughters and two sons, besides a large circle of friends and relatives to mourn his death. The funeral services will be conducted from the First Presbyterian church, of which the deceased was an honored member, at 11 o'clock tomorrow. He will be buried in the Salem cemetery.
