Obituary
William D. Brown
Interment April 5, 1858 Wm. D. Brown
Yesterday morning, April 4th, at the residence of Mr. James Johnson, in this city, Wm. D. Brown, in the 23rd year of his age. About 2 o’clock Tuesday morning last, Mr. Brown was aroused from his sleep by swallowing a piece of gold plate to which was attached three artificial teeth, having forgotten to remove it from his mouth before retiring to bed. He immediately sought the assistance of Dr. Paul F. Eve, who failing to remove it with his instrument, gave him an emetic which he took upon his return to his room. Fortunately the result of the emetic was the ejection from his throat of the plate.

Up to Thursday night, the chances of his recovery were promising, his throat, though lacerated and inflamed, appeared to improve gradually. Friday the symptoms became more unfavorable, and continued to become worse, until yesterday morning death ensued.

Mr. Brown was a native of Canada, whence his parents (themselves Americans) emigrated to New Hampshire, whilst he was yet a child. In 1853, Mr. P. Weaver became acquainted with him at Concord, and was so much pleased with his noble attributes of mind and heart, he prevailed upon him to come here with him, giving him employment in the house of Johnson, Weaver & Co. In his position of clerk in this house, he developed the most sterling traits of character, and so won upon the confidence of his employers, that they regared [sic.] with the sincerest esteem and affection. There have been few men, in our midst, of his years, who have exhibited as much business capacity, connected with those high moral qualities, without which the greatest genius is almost worthless.

Cut down in the dawn of manhood,…it cannot be that with his exit from the stage of being his usefulness will cease. The influence of his example must continue for many years to come to operate upon the large circle of his friends. So far as the ties of consanguinity are concerned, he stood nearly alone in the world – both father and mother preceded him to that “undiscovered country whence no traveler returns,” but though no kindred hands closed his eyes, he does not descend to the tomb unmourned. Many a friendly heart grieves over his untimely end, and will long mourn his loss.
