Mrs. F. Ward Brown Didn't Just Die; She Was...

Piqua, Ohio, 1919

SUMMONED BEFORE HER CREATOR

Mrs. F. Ward Brown Dies at Noon Today at Home On Vandemark Park

Mrs. F. Ward Brown died at her country home on the Vandemark pike, this noon at 12 o'clock, at the age of 64 years. Mrs. Brown had been an invalid at some time, but the shock of her death is felt by her host of many warm friends.

The deceased is survived by her husband, and two daughters, Mrs. V. S. Himelright, and Mrs. Guy Hill.

The funeral will be held on Monday. Further announcement will be made later.

Comment: I like the headline and also the interesting phrasing: "this noon at 12 o'clock."
