Mrs. Fannie Brown, mother of T. J. Lang and sister of Rev. P. T. McWhorter, 
died at the Anadarko Sanitarium Friday, July 16th, age 72 years 6 months and 
10 days, having been born in the state of Georgia, January 6, 1849.  In this 
state she was married at the age of 19 to James Brown who preceded her to the 
world beyond something like 30 years ago.  She was the mother of two 
daughters, one of whom is Mrs. T. J. Lang of Chickasha, survives her; she is 
also survived by four brothers, Rev. P. T. McWhorter of this place, M. R. and 
D. B. and Allen who together with the surviving sisters reside in Georgia.  
Mrs. Brown was making her home with her daughter Mrs. Lang up to the time she 
was taken to the hospital to undergo an operation, she died just prior to the 
operation and was brought here for burial, which took place Saturday 
afternoon.  The funeral services were held in the M. E. church conducted by 
the pastor Rev. Blackwood of which church she had been a life long member, 
internment was made in the city cemetery.  A large concourse of relatives and 
friends attended the funeral and followed her remains to its last resting 
place.  Having lived long and well, this Christian mother has gone home to 
live forever where tears of sorrow and disappointments of life are unknown.

Smooth the locks of silver hair,
On our mother's brown tenderest care,
Gather the robe in final fold
Around the form so still and cold;
Her pain is over she sleeps tonight.
