Brown The sudden death occurred at his home, Hall street, Ayr, on Monday of Thomas M. Brown, in his 85th year. The late Mr. Brown sustained a heart attack shortly after midnight on Sunday and passed away some three hours later. Born on the Brown homestead, 11th concession of Blenheim township, now owned by his nephew David H. Brown, he took up farming on the 6th concession of South Dumfries in 1896 on the property now occupied by his son, Pringle Brown. He retired to reside in Ayr some 22 years ago. Owing to ill health, he was forced to give up farming in 1909, when he came to Ayr, where he resided until 1912. He then returned to the farm. For some 18 months, during this interval, he conducted a grain business in the premises now occupied by the Ayr District Co-op. Mr. Brown was a son of the late David Brown and Isabella Lillico, original Scottish settlers. He was one of a family of twelve children, of whom only two still survive. They are J. J. Brown and Mrs. George Mitchell, both of Ayr. In religion he was a lifelong Presbyterian. Mr. Brown was a good friend and neighbour and will be greatly missed in the community. Besides the brother and sister mentioned above, he is survived by one son, Pringle, South Dumfries, and a daughter, Miss Marion, at home; also by three grandchildren. His wife, whose maiden name was Jean Laidlaw Pringle, predeceased him in January 1947. The funeral took place this (Wednesday) afternoon to the Ayr Cemetery. The Ayr News Jul 1 1948 pg 1
