NEWPORT
Overton Brown, 21, son of Frank Brown, died yesterday morning
shortly after 6 o'clock at the residence of his grandparents, Captain and Mrs.
Paris C Brown, on third street, near Saratoga. His demise followed an operation
for appendicitis, from which he had been a sufferer for several days. His
condition became so grave late Saturday night that an operation was deemed
necessary, and Dr. Whittaker and several other Cincinnati specialists were
called in consultation.
The all decided that without an operation the patient had no chance for his life and it was at once performed. He failed to rally afterward and his death followed yesterday morning. His father, in Honduras, was notified of the death of young Brown by telegraph. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock.
