Angus D. Brownell:  Westville and the surrounding country was greatly shocked on last Thursday by the unexpected report of the death of Bro. A. D. Brownell of this place. 

Though Bro. Brownell was known for and wide as a man of high moral character and of deep religious convictions, it was only to those who have been in close touch with him, that have been revealed the trueness of his great worth.
  
As a citizen he was considered just, as a Mason, a brother, as a man honorable, as a father peerless, and as a companion unrivaled.  His motto, as explained by himself, was "Never fear to do right". 

The deceased was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church here, and has been very diligent in Sunday School work-serving the church either as Superintendent of School or as teacher of the advanced class.  As the school has been a grand success, it need only be mentioned that a great many of our bright boys and girls owe their success, in a large measure, to the inspiration received from this man of God.  Thus, it is resolved by the Sunday School:

1.  That we express to the world our sincere appreciation of the work that rendered us.

2.  That as he was so diligent in business and fervent in spirit in serving the Lord, his place will be hard to fill.  

3.  That we will follow the example set by him in our endeavor to do right.

4.  That a copy of these resolutions be send the Alabama Christian Advocate, to the Holmes County Advertiser and to the family of the deceased. 

                                                                Viola Douglass,  C. T. Williams,  M. R. Robison,  Committee
