M.D. Foster, of Greensboro, also two brothers and one sister, namely Messrs. Joseph Brown of Kernersville, Albert Brown, of
Indiana and Mrs. Josephine Leonard, of Washington, D.C. In addition to the above relatives Mr. Brown leaves a large concourse of

Although a cripple for life, Mr. Brown was always of a cheerful disposition and his old war comrades were the friends that he most
cherished. The funeral service was conducted this afternoon at 4 o'clock from the Waughtown Baptist church, followed by the interment
in the Waughtown cemetery.
