Death of Wm Bown Sr.
On Wednesday night April 10th, at 10 o’clock, occurred the death of William
Bown, Sr., an old resident of Fayette. His death was hastened by an accident
which he met on Sunday, March 31, an account of which was chronicled in the
Gazette of last week. He was brought to the home of his son Lafayette in this
city, and has since been given the best medical care and every comfort
possible, but his spirit was forced to yield to the frail form of 75 years. He
leaves five sons, William and Levi, residing at Fayette, Hyrum, residing at
Manti, and James and Lafayette who are residing in this city. The body was
taken to Fayette yesterday afternoon for burial.
Deceased has resided at Fayette for the past thirty years, and was a much
respected citizen. In obedience to the call, he located at St. George and
remained there for six years. He first settled at Springville.

DEATH-BURIAL: DEATH: newspaper notice: The
Manti Messenger Newspaper 13 April 1901
A very serious accident happened [to] William Bown, Sr. Sunday morning last,
while his grand daughter who cares for him was attending the Sunday School as
teacher. He was in his usual health when Miss Bown left him, escepting for a
slight dizziness which he complained of. The first to reach the Bown residence
was Mrs. John Peterson who with her husband occupies the front part of the
dwelling. On entering her room, she found it filled with smoke and aroma of
burning cloth. She searched her room but could not discover any cause.
Presently she heard a faint rap on the door leading to Mr. Bown’s room and,
upon entering, found the old gentleman in a critical condition. His clothes,
and the flesh on one side of his face and body were badly burned. He could give
no account of the accident further than that he fell in the open fire place and
was unable to extricate himself. It is supposed he had a spell of dizziness and
fainted, falling into the fireplace as stated. Miss Bown was late in reaching
home from school, as she stayed to a business meeting after the usual hour.
The condition of Mr. Bown is quite serious, owing to his advanced age, but
there is hope of his recovery. He is being given the best medical care.
He is the father of Messrs. L. and J. Bown of your city, and has a number of
children who reside here. He is about 75 years of age.

"On the 21st inst. in Fayette, Charley Bown cut his throat. He is still
alive at this writing but with no chance of recovery. Dr. Olsten attended him
and said there was no hopes for him. He has been sick for some time and became
very despondent and said he was tired of his suffering and could stand it no
longer, and so took this method of ridding himself of life. The family have the
sympathy of this community."
Manti Messenger Newspaper 7 Feb 1896:
"Charley Bown, the young man in Fayette who attempted suicide, died on the
evening of the 29th, and was buried on the 2nd. The family have the sympathy of
this community."
