DEATH of WILLIAM BROWN.—One
more of the familiarnioneer faces, of
Molesworth and vicinity, has passed
away from view, Wm. Brown is now
numbered with the departed. The
pioneers are gradually but surely
thinning out, but a few are left and
the old men of Molesworth will soon
be men of another generation.
Father Time moves on in spite of
youth and vigor and his artistic fingers
will silver a man's hair in spite of
himself. The late Wm. Brown was
born near Lander, iu Berwick Co.,
Scotland, in May 1838 and when 14
e
years of age his parents come out to
Canada and
settled near Hagersville,
•
Norfolk. Co. 4 years. after coming out
be walked up through the bush with
his two brothers, George and Sandy
and finally located on the farm with
the "gravel knolls" just West of
Molesworth long known as.the Geordie
Brown farm, now owned by John
Elliott, after the death of his father.
Mis. Jas. Brown, his another and
other. members of the family came
up to Molesworth to brighten their
pioneer life in the bush. The spirit of
adventure was .in his blood and in
1860 the Denver,.goldcraze enticed him
and his brother' George and Peter
Graham away. It was a big task to
span the distance between Molesworth
and the Rockies in those days but
what with riding and what with walk-
in adwr1
g
n at with the help of rail-
ways .they reached Leavenworth
Kansas, 900 miles still lay between
them and the Denver mining camp
A voice cd Texas cattle was secured
and the distance Wes covered success-
fully. After 6 months' time the death
of his brother Sandy made it necessary
for him to return home and .the Texas
cattle did duty again on the home-
ward trip. During the whole of the
time the cattle were in his possession
they were never unyoked. . In this
return trip' was vas accumpanfed by.e.
solitary Englishman who •confided
when parting that he had contemplat-
ed taking .Brown's life. From the
time of Mr. Brown's .return from the
Rocky mountains until a few years
ago he spent his life on the farm.
B.is pioneering life was not without
tardship and vicissitudes: The bush
u more than one farm bowed beneath
cis sturdy stroke turd many a neigh-
bor can testify to his generosity lu
the matter of trading work, If a
mere lad could drive.a team of horses
or oxen in the plow.Mr. Brown would
accept his'services and swing the axe
hrongh many a long day on his neigh-
bni's farm splitting rails, or felling
rees. The are was a toy in his hands
nd if a race was on butting logs the
Cher fellow's only hope meas in put -
Mg in an extra stroke but it was all
o no purpooe. Brown's stroke was a
minter every time and the victory
was his. Long walks from: Hagersville
o Molesworth and vice versa were
ever considered a handicap and
hsough all his early teaming days
tom Molesworth to Mitchell and
Molesworth
to Seaforth cold had no
laimon him. Cold feet were stranger's
o him and he had very little use for
its. His hands like his heart were
lways warm. His resource too is,
een in a trip through the bush from
orfells county with oxen.;This time
owe Lund sheep were brought in. A
oat of hay on a juniper provided food'
