(Memoriam)
We chronicle an event of touching sadness in the death of Mrs. A.
L. Brown. Weekly and daily the death notices in our public journals
move us to sorrowful sympathy and tell of a deeper sadness to the
bereaved ones whose friends have gone to the unseen land. But here
we have a case of the sudden dissolution of earthly ties, under
circumstances of unusual sadness. This community well remembers
Miss Bingham, the subject of this memoir, as a lady of refinement,
naturally timid and delicate, yet who, in self-helpfulness,
maintained herself here in an honorable calling and made hosts of
friends. All these were waiting to congratulate her on her marriage
to Mr. A. L. Brown, which occurred Sept. 28, 1871. A short visit
with her brother, Mr. E. T. Bingham, of Medford, Minn., and then
she expected to return here with her husband to make her home in
our village (Neillsville, Clark County). On this visit to her
brother she was taken with typhoid fever and after a short illness
she passed away on Thursday, Oct. 26.
Only four weeks and two days before was her marriage day. Thus in
the prime of matured womanhood has she fallen. The fondly cherished
hopes and plans of a worthy true-hearted husband are brought to
naught, and his desolation awakens our most tender sympathies. His
recollection of the short possession of the truest earthly friend
can be only sacred. The heart s affections still go out for the
departed and what does it argue Can the heart love that which hath
no existence.
