Obituary of Alpheus Brown
The Rushville Times, Thursday,
December 27, 1906
PIONEER RESIDENTS DEAD
Two of Schuyler's Old Time Citizens
Pass to the World Beyond.
Sunday evening, December 23, Elder
Alpheus Brown, Rushville's pioneer minister, and one of
its oldest and most respected residents, passed to his
reward. A man of iron, constitution and indomitable will,
he lived long and lived well. His mind was clear and active
to the last, and his closing hours were sustained by his
unwavering trust in the Master whom he had served faithfully
for so many years.
About an hour before the end he
began a quotation from the 23d. Psalm: "Tho I walk thru the
valley of the shadow of death," he repeated, but his voice
failed him, and when his daughter completed the verse-"I
will fear no evil, for thou art with me"-he nodded his head
and whispered, "That's what I wanted to say." In the words
of the Psalmist, surely he "will dwell in the house of the
Lord forever."
Alpheus Brown was born near Utica,
Ohio, Nov. 21,1814. When twelve years of age he was left an
orphan and thrown entirely upon his own resources; but he
knew how to work, and did it. He never enjoyed the benefits
of a school education, but learned to read the bible by the
light of the fire-place after his hard day's labor with the
axe. His wife was his teacher. He cut cord-wood for 37 \'bd
cents a cord and split rails at 50 cents a hundred; in
harvest he worked for 75 cents a day, from sun to sun, and
boarded himself.
From the age of nineteen he exhorted
and preached occasionally up to the time of his ordination
in the year 1845; thus he was for over sixty years an active
minister of the gospel. The greater portion of his ministry
was in Missouri and in the Military Tract of Illinois.
Mr. Brown first located in Rushville
in the year 1846. At this time he was working at the
carpenter trade, and his first work was done on the old
Ramsey mill, destroyed by fire a few years ago. In those
early days itinerand ministers were expected to preach for
nothing and board themselves; but he was one of those sturdy
pioneer ministers who were not daunted by rigorous service.
In 1849 he received an appointment
to the Christian Church at Ripley, and thru his efforts the
building was erected which until recently was occupied as a
place of worship by the congregation there. From Ripley he
went to Perry, Ill. and there, too, built a church, devoting
all that was possible of his time and energies to the
upbuilding of his Master's kingdom at that place. For two
years he preached at Lexington, Indiana, and then returned
to Perry, where he engaged in the mercantile business for
three years. But his greatest delight was in the work of
the Lord, and he gave up his business to accept a call to
the Christian church at Louisiana, Mo. In later years he
was stationed at a number of places in Missouri and in 1876
he returned to Rushville, where he resided until his death.
October 23, 1834, Mr. Brown was
united in marriage to Miss Susan Moriarty at
Mt. Gilead, Ohio. Five
children were born to this union, only one of whom survives
- Mrs. Sarah Walker of Perry, Ill. On April 11, 1844, Mr.
Brown was united in marriage to Miss Mildred Snow of
Lexington, Indiana, and one of the three children born to
them Harvey A. Brown of Mt. Vernon, Ill., is the only one
living. Mr. Brown was married for the third time, June 28,
1849, to Miss Rhoda H. Hardy, and after fifty-two years the
union of hearts was unbroken, she departing this life August
18, 1901. Mrs. S. D. Foster is the only surviving child of
this marriage and it was with her that Mr. Brown spent his
remaining years.
The funeral was conducted by
Brothers M. W. Greer and M. L. Hostetter at the late
residence. A short service was also held at Bethany, where
the internment took place. The following lines were read at
the funeral:
Somewhere, away in the depths of blue,
Where the stars of God eternally
shine;
Where suns and systems circle true-
True to the will of the great Divine.
Somewhere, up in the measureless dome,
Beyond the power of the eye to see,
Is the city of Gold-Eternal Home-
Where he is waiting for you and me.
Waiting and watching within the gate,
Beckoning to us with loving hands,
While we in the dust and the shadows
wait
The will of the One who understands.
He did not dread to pass the portal,
But patiently waited the chastening
rod,
To call his soul to the life immortal
Where souls a-weary shall rest with
God.
Good-by; but oh, it is not forever
We say good-by as we turn away;
We shall be rejoined, no more to sever
