The news of the death of Major
Oscar Brown brings sincere sor
row to very many Georgians.
Unlike many men who go into
army life, Major Brown never lost
intimate touch with the state of
his birth. He was appointed to
West Point from Georgia in 1872,
graduating in the class of 1877. A
warm personal friend of the late
Governor Atkinson, it was largely
through Governor Atkinson’s in
fluence that Major Brown, then a
captain, was detailed by the war
department as assistant adjutant
general and inspector of the Geor
gia state troops in 189$ And up
on the outbreak of the Spanish
war he was made colonel ot the
Second Georgia regiment of volun
teers. The Second Georgia was a
regiment of which its commanding
officer was justly proud, and the
officers and men of that regiment
were ever, proud of and loyal to
their colonel.
Throughout his army career
Major Brown made an enviable
record. Upon the disbandment ot
the volunteer forces he returned
to his regiment in the regular
team and buggy. The team be-1 ation convenes with Ramah
