Mrs. Cora McCord Brown wife of
Joseph M. Brown, former governor
of Georgia, died Sunday afternoon
at 12:30 at the family residence in
Marietta, following an attack of
heart trouble. Mrs. Brown had
been in excellent health apparently
and was preparing to attend church
services when she was stricken,
death occurred almost intantly.
One of the best known women in
the state, her gracious, engaging
personality and high intellectual at
tainments won hosts of
throughout Georgia to whom the
news of her passing will coma with*
sincere sorrow. During the adminis
tration of Governor Brown Bhe pre
sided. at many social functions at the
govenor’s mansion and was active in
social affairs generally.
It was as a home-maker, a dear
neighbor, and the loveliest of
friends of the Marietta young peo
ple, however, that Mrs. Brown al
ways will be remembered in that
city. The charming old estate of
the Brown family, its vast yard nr
ancient oak grove for the generation
has been a sort of rallying place-for
Marietta’s younger set—for the
“Saturday Night club” and similar
informal orders, where the boys
would get together and sing *he o’d
songs that sound so well in the
moonlight, and where the guis
would gather for sewing or music
or fudge as the cas e might he.
Mrs. Brown was immensely popu
lar with Marietta’s boys and girls,
and as they grew into manhood and
womanhood they never lost their
affection for her. Often young wom
en now out in the world following
careers of their owrf, turned hack
to the dear old hom e for visits of
weeks—months, if they had the time
at the Brown hpme always to be
welcomed by the most cordial and
warm-hearted of hostesses. Marietta
never had another figure of whom
th e young people looked up with
quite the same feeling as for Mr3.
Brown.
Always taking a deep interest in
women’s activities Mrs. Brown was
a prominent figure in the United
Daughters of the Confederacy, the
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion and the Marietta Woman’s Hub.
She was a devout Christian, a mem
ber of th e Frst Baptist church of
Marietta, and active in the work cf
the missonary society. ^
Mrs. Brown was 63 years m age
She was born in Lincoln county ind
