It is with deep regret that I record the death of Mrs. James Brown, widow of the late James Brown, of Rylstone, which took place at her residence, Mudgee-street, Rylstone, on Sunday night last. The deceased lady was 81 years of age, a native of Sydney, having been born in O'Connell-street in the year 1818. She was a daughter of the late Thos. Bloodworth, of Sydney. The deceased leaves a grownup family of two sons and two daughters namely, Messrs. W. L. Brown (Mount Brace); A. A. Brown (Belbowery), Mrs. G. Howe (Rylstone), and Mrs. I. Cousens (Nulty. Bourke). The old lady was possessed of a wonderful memory and excellent eyesight, July 18, 1902 (Sydney Stock and Station Journal, Friday 25 July 1902, page 3).

OBITUARY: Mr. W. T. BROWN The death of Mr. William Thomas Brown late of 9 Cox Street, Mudgee, severs yet another link with the early days of the Rylstone and Mudgee Districts. He was born at Rylstone 86 years ago and was the son of William Lee and Mary Anne Brown of Mount Brace, Rylstone. He was born and reared on the land and was a keen judge of livestock, a noted horseman and served in the Australian Light Horse in the Reign of Queen Victoria. He was a man of keen intellect and although the early part of his life was spent before the advent of the motor car and mechanisation as it is known today, he was quick to appreciate the advantages that these things brought and was a great believer in modern methods in the agricultural and pastoral industries. In addition to his other interests he and his wife conducted a general store and Post Office for nearly thirty years at Lue, where their home was open house to everyone. His jovial personality made friends for him wherever he went. Requiem Mass was offered for him by his eldest son, Rev. Father H. Brown who also conducted the burial service before interment in the Mudgee Cemetery. The funeral was large and representative of all sections of the community and the procession at St. Mary's Catholic Church was led by six Monsignori and thirty three priests from all parts of the Bathurst Diocese, and the school children formed a guard of honor at the Church. Monsignor Sheehan, Vicar-General of the Bathurst Diocese, represented the Bishop, the Most Rev. A. R. Thomas. The late Mr. Brown was predeceased by his wife, who before her marriage, was Minnie Batten, daughter of William and Margaret Batten of "Glenangle", Lue. Members of his family are Harry (Rev. Fr. Brown, Gulargambone), Arthur (deceased), Margaret (Mrs. Frank Hughes, Erudgere), Bruce (Artarmon) and Bessie (Mrs. Noel Miller, Mudgee).
