"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 41, No 14, p 5, Apr. 2, 1885
In Milton, Wis., March 18, 1885, of Pneumonia, Mrs. Maleta, wife of Dea. Erastus Brown, aged 54 years, 7 months and 16 days. She was born in Pike, Clark Co., Ohio, and came to Wisconsin when eleven years of age, and was converted under the preaching of Eld. Varnum Hull. She was married to Mr. Brown, Dec. 31, 1850, and with the exception of the first year, in Berlin, Wis., they spent their married life in the town of Milton. During her last sickness her suffering was intense, and she was conscious to the last moment. She often expressed a wish to live for the sake of her children, who much needed her, but would end by saying, "the will of the Lord be done." She was a working member of the Milton Junction Seventh-day Baptist Church, earnest and spiritual minded. "Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her." - Psa. 31:28. Her funeral was largely attended, when a sermon was preached by her pastor from 1 John 3: 23. N. W.
