BROWN.—Died, at St. Clair, Nevada, April 3, 1885, Joseph Brown, aged 72 years.

Until three years ago Brother Brown was skeptical, profane, and intemperate; but by the preaching of the present truth by Elder Farnsworth, and the influence of God's Spirit, his life was entirely changed, and for three years he lived a hopeful Christian life. While burning stubble on his ranch, he was severely burned, and died after three weeks of intense suffering. Funeral remarks by the writer, from Col. 3:4. E. A. BRIGGS.
