Following obit dated November 16, 1905
Frank Brown, more familiarly known
as "Beecher," died at 12 o'clock
last night at St. Joseph's hospital
in Logansport. The remains will be
brought to Star City, his former
home, this evening, and will be
taken to the home of his brother
Harry. The funeral will be held
Saturday, with interment in the Mull
cemetery. Frank was injured on the
railroad about two weeks ago. He was
braking, and was on top of a car at
Bradford, Ohio. As the train rounded
the big curve there he fell off,
alighting on his back across the
rail of a side track. His back was
broken, and his legs were paralyzed
from that injury. He was brought to
the hospital, and had been reported
getting along, so the announcement
of his death came as a surprise. He
was thirty-six years old, and leaves
a widow and one child.

I believe Frank is related to my BROWNs from Van Buren Twp, Pulaski Co,
IN. The information passed down in our family listed a Beecher Brown as
a son of Martin and Catherine (Enyeart/Enyert) BROWN. Martin and
Catherine also had a son named Harry.
Many of the BROWNs in my ancestry are buried in Mull Cemetery, Van Buren
Twp, Pulaski Co, IN.
Would love to hear from anyone related to "Beecher!"
