Mrs. Lottie Brown, 60, who has been a resident of Spencer since 1933 and assistant postmaster most of that time, died Wednesday evening, July 19, at St. Joseph’s hospital in Marshfield, where she had been taken the Saturday before. Death was due to Addison’s disease.

Mrs. Brown (nee Swarthout) was born at Dorchester on Oct. 16, 1883. Her marriage to Harry Brown took place at Neillsville on Mar. 26, 1910. They lived on a farm a mile north of Loyal until Mr. Brown passed away 13 years ago. Since then she has spent a year in California and the rest of the time in Spencer. She was a member of the Spencer camp of Royal Neighbors of America and of Everett Chapter No. 95, Order of Eastern Star, at Marshfield.

Funeral services were conducted at 2 o’clock Tuesday afternoon, July 25, at the Swarthout funeral home in Spencer by the Rev. Raymond H. Browe of Marshfield, pastor of Zion Evangelical church.
