• Notes

  "Brown: It is with sorrow that we record the death of our late fellow Townsman, Dr. Brown, who formerly resided at Stoney Creek, where he enjoyed an extensive practice. For the last two years he resided in Berlin, and during this time, by his amiable disposition and sterling integrity, gained the esteem of all who knew him, and his sudden death, which took place on Friday last, is deeply regretted by a large circle of relatives and friends. His funeral took place on Sabbath last, and was attended by a large concourse of the inhabitants. Berlin Telegraph 11 Feb 1859 ________________________ A-2-18 Thomas Picton Siscero Brown Letters of Administration of the estate of Thomas Picton Siscero[?] Brown, late of the Town of Berlin, Physician and Surgeon, who died on or about the 4th day of February 1859 at the Town of Berlin, intestate, and had at the time of his death a fixed place of abode at the Town of Berlin, granted to Henrietta Maria Brown of the Township of Barton in the County of Witworth, the widow of the said intestate… Letters granted 7th March 1859 Died 4th February 1859 No inventory Surrogate Court Records Copybook Register A 1853-1871 transcript to 1863. Frances Hoffman transcriber. ________________ BROWN, THOMAS PICTON SIMON was listed in the Canada Gazette of November 21, 1846 as having received his licence to practice. He was in Stoney Creek at that time, and on January 8, 1852, the Hamilton Gazette reported his marriage to Henrietta, daughter of Thomas Waddle, Esq., of Barton Hall. The Berlin Chronicle of March 16, 1858 noting that he had resumed the practice of his Profession in Berlin, presented his card: DOCTOR BROWN PHYSICIAN, SURGEON & ACCOUCHEUR RESIDENCE, corner of Weber and Younge streets, nearly opposite the R. Catholic Church BERLIN, C. W. Tenders his professional services to the inhabitants of Berlin and vincintiy On account of being known only in a different capacity, during a residence of eighteen months in this place begs to state that for the previous 10 years he was solely occupied in the general practice of his profession. It is not recorded in what capacity he was known previously, although on July 4, 1856 Dr. Bowlby presented to the Town Council a petition from Dr. Brown and others, praying that the sidewalk on Weber Street be laid on the north side of the street. He must have been concerned with matters other than sidewalks. Less than a year later his obituary appeared in the Berlin Telegraph of February 11, 1859, saying that "by his amiable disposition and sterling integrity, (he) gained the esteem of all who knew him, . . ." On October 12, 1860 it was reported that his widow, now her name spelled Waddell, had died of consumption in Hamilton. Dr. Alexander D. Campbell, Doctors in Waterloo County 1852-1925 ________ We regret to learn that Dr. Brown of Berlin, and formerly of Stoney Creetk, died on Friday afternoon.
