Funeral of A. H. Brown

Services Held at Tabernacle Baptist Church at Elmo Sunday Afternoon

Elmo, Tex., June 5.--The funeral services of A. H. Brown, who was struck by Texas & Pacific passenger train No. 3, westbound, here Saturday afternoon, receiving injuries from which he died almost instantly, were held at the Tabernacle Baptist church at this place Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, being conducted by the pastor, ?? of Fort Worth, who was assisted by Rev. W. H. Wynn, pastor of the First Baptist church of Terrell. Following the services the remains were laid to rest in the Elmo Cemetery. The services were very impressive and were attended by a very large number, many from Dallas, Terrell, Kaufman, Wills Point and practically the entire citizenship of Elmo and the surrounding community. The floral offerings were many and very beautiful indeed. The pall bearers were: J. M. Rutledge of Terrell, J. H. Ellis of Elmo, Wallace Roberts of Elmo, Will Love of College Mound, R. E. Pratt and C. P. Ross of Elmo. Mr. Brown was one of the most substantial and best men of the Elmo community. He was a devout Christian and his place will be hard to fill as a member of the church. As a deacon his love for God and his church proved to all that knew him that all he did was guided by the Holy Spirit. The death of this good man has cast a gloom over the entire town of Elmo and the whole community as well. Mr. Brown was born in Missouri, in the year 1883 locating near Elmo, at which place he resided until his death. Deceased leaves a wife and two daughters, Mrs. Luther Welborn who was in the accident with her father and who is now in a precarious condition, and Mrs. O. D. Jones, also a step-son, P. H. Reynolds.

My family traces back to Northeast Missouri where my ggrandfather William Erasmus McGinnis was born on a farm in Montgomery Co., 1865 - 1942, his father was William Evermont McGinnis and mother, Ellen Stewart. During the Civil War, the family moved to Fort Dodge, Iowa and later returned to Missouri where William Erasmus was born. I am looking for any information links to William Evermont. I believe he may have move from Ireland in the 1840's. Visit my web site, www.why.net/home/wejr/publish, or contact me at wejr@@airmail.net

     BIRTH     1562, Northampton, Northampton Borough, Northamptonshire, England
     DEATH     28 Nov 1625 (aged 62–63), Northampton, Northampton Borough, Northamptonshire, England
     Originally of County Kent, Richard Lightfoot, who was Rector of Stoke Bruerne in Northhamptonshire, heads a pedigree of four generations of his family registered during the Herald's Visitation of London made in 1687. The registration is signed by the son of John I and grandson of the Reverend Richard, William Lightfoot of London, one of the Attorneys in the Lord Mayor's Court and Register of Sutton's Hospital, who was then aged 53. The pedigree was filed by a brother of William, Robert Lightfoot, who was Apothecary to the Queen Dowager, Queen Catherine of Braganza, wife of Charles II of England.
     Richard was ordained a deacon and priest on March 14, 1582 by John, Bishop of Gloucester. Richard married Jane Aske, daughter of Robert Aske in London at St. Bartholomew the Less on February 7, 1593. Richard and Jane had three sons and five daughters. Richard was licensed as preacher on December 11, 1589 by John, Archbishop of Canterbury. The parish register reports that he was installed as Rector of Stoke Bruerne, England on April 27, 1601 and was buried there on November 28, 1625, after serving for over 23 years. His tomb is marked by a small plaque bearing the Lightfoot coat of arms and an inscription in latin. English translation follows:
     Stoke Bruerne, Northhamptonshire is located in the middle of England 118 miles north of London. The thatched cottages climb up the hill. The lock-keeper's gardens are thick with flowers in season and the canal winds by until its waters vanish into a tunnel nearly two miles long. The Church of St. Mary the Virgin on the hill above the village was begun by the Normans in 1066 and was completed with battlements in the 15th Century when the richly carved Cross was set above the east wall of the chancel. The Nave Arcades with four circular Clerestory Windows above are 14th Century. Beautifully lettered gravestones are all over the church and include the "Lightfoots". On the wall is a brass portrait of Richard Lightfoot with a pointed beard and wearing a ruff as he kneels at a prayer desk.
     A copy of Richard's will is also included in an article entitled "The Lightfoot Family". Richard wrote his will on May 5, 1625 and it was proved on December 6, 1625. In the will, he names his wife Jane as sole executrix. He also mentions his sons John & Richard, and his daughters Sarah, Rose & Jane.

His estate was probated on 6 December 1625 at Probate Division, Her Matjesty's High Court of Justice, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England.⁷

      ; Per Walker-Butler email: "Richard was the rector of the Stoke Bruerne Parish Church for twenty-three years, and is buried there. On his tomb are the family coat of arms and the inscription in Latin which translates, "... Death quietly and unexpectedly overtook him while feeding his flock by word and deed. His life was short for it was a long meditation on death. Thus he taught others to live and himself to die. ..." Stoke Bruin is in Northamptonshire in the middle of England, 118 miles from Birmingham and London. The church still stands. It was begun by the Normans in 1066. Gravestones for the Lightfoots and Jones can be found there, along with a brass portrait of Richard Lightfoot. The church rectory is a gigantic gothic building, added to often, but none later than 1600. The hall fireplace is eight feet wide and head tall. The medieval tile floor is black and red. Other floors in the house are stone. There are six bedrooms, and oak beams as thick as a human bidy.“.^6,8

; Per Cates:
     "Yes, I do have these wills that you mention. It is not so unusual that Richard Lightfoot failed to mention his Aske kindred. He had been living away from London for quite some time as parson of Stoke Bruern in Northamptonshire (about 20 years). Also, at the time of his death, I am not sure whether most of the Aske sons or daughters were still alive. He was obviously closest to Thomas Jones and wife, Priscilla and their children, probably because his wife (former or present) and Priscilla were younger daughters, possibly by Robert's second wife. Priscilla was definitely an Aske, as Thomas Jones' monument at Lewisham points out, as Robert Aske's will mentions, as their marriage record states, and as at least one other Heralds' Visitation proves. Thomas and Richard were "brothers-in-law" because their wives, the mothers of most if not all their children, had been sisters. The will of Robert Aske actually favored Priscilla and Thomas Jones, such that James Aske, an older son attempted to overthrow the will, so bad blood over inheritance could have the split the older from the younger children.
     "But, if the mother of Richard's children was not an Aske, why would the 1587 pedigree specifically state that the mother of his two sons (John and Richard) was the daughter of Robert Aske, goldsmith, of London? A slip of a given name is understandable, but a slip on the added information concerning the London Askes is not. Surely, the informant, William Lightfoot of London, would have known his paternal grandmother's maiden name. Also, it seems unlikely that Rev. Richard's monument in Stoke Bruern would impale the arms of Aske of Aughton with those of Lightfoot if the mother of most, if not all, of his children was not an Aske.
     "It is possible that the marriage record for Richard Lightfoot and Mary Aske recorded in London is wrong and that the given name should have been Jane, not Mary. It is also possible that Jane was a second wife of Richard, and even, it is possible that Jane and Mary were sisters (the given names of several of the younger daughters of Robert Aske can not be divined from the damaged parish register, though sex and date of christening can), both daughters of Robert Aske, and both married successively to Richard. But there can be very little doubt that the mother of Richard and John (who was one of the earliest children) of Rev. Richard was an Aske. I do note as well that John Lightfoot, barrister, (of Rev. Richard) named a son Robert, probably after his maternal grandfather. This Robert became an apothecary for Catherine of Braganza, Charles II's queen.“.⁹ He was Per Richardson: "He was ordained a deacon and priest 14 March 1582 by John, Bishop of Gloucester.“ on 14 March 1582.⁴ He was Installed as minster by the Bishop of Canterbury. William/Morton [2007:23] cites "Berry's History of Northamptonshires" on 29 April 1601 at Stoke Bruerne Parish, Stoke Bruerne, South Northamptonshire Borough, Northamptonshire, England.^10,4

     A copy of the will of Richard Lightfoot can be found in William and Mary College Quarterly, Vol. II, p. 93 - 95. This is a lengthy will, and I make the following clips:
     "In the name of God Amen, I Richard Lightfoot Clerke, person of Stoke Brewen in the County of Northton being in helth of bodie but of pafitt memory...
     " The rest of all my good debts and estate not bequethed I give to my wellbeloved wife Jane Liftfoote whome I make sole Exectrix of this my last Will and I desire my dearly beloved brother Thomas Jones Esqr to be overseer hereof to see the same pformed in all things accodinge to my true meaninge...."
     " Sealed published and declard by the said Richard Lightfoote as and for his last Will & Testamt in the presence of us Thomas Jones, John Winterborne, Thomas Marshe."
     Proved 6th December, 1625
     In this document, the name Aske does not appear. It would seem unusal that if the wife of Richard was an Aske, the family would not be mentioned.
     Richard Lightfoot, describes Thomas Jones as his "dearly beloved brother". The most common usage at this time was; 1st= biological brother, 2nd= brother-in-law", and 3rd= fellow believer in the Christian faith. It is possible that the third meaning is intended, but the most likely is brother-in-law.
     Thomas Jones is given the responsibility of "overseer". This was not always a family member, but in many cases a family was given this responsibility.
     Thomas Jones was listed as a witness.
     The will of John Lightfoot is found 1 Jan 1647.
     In this he list, "....To my loving cousin, Mr. Thomas Jones 5 marks." No Aske are listed.
     John Lightfoot also describes a chamber lodging at Gray's Inn as such:
     "My friend Edward Bing, Esq: to have chamber lodging at Gray's Inne, wherein testator has an estate for life, & the life of his cousin, Mr. John Jones, at such reasonable price as shall be agreed upon."
     Will was proved at London 24 March, 1648-49.
     The will of Thomas Jones of Grayes Inn, in Co. Middlesex, esqure (P.C.C. 117, Clarke) gives all of his property in trust for the benefit of his wife and children,
     "to my dear and loving wife Priscilla Jones, Sir Richard Yonge, knight, and John Lightfoote"...."in trust that my said cousins Sir Richard Younge and John Lightfoote, etc...."
     A moument of alabaster and black marble is erected to the memory of Thomas Jones: A full description of this is found in The Monumental Inscriptions of St. Mary, Lewisham. The base of the is written "....Sir Richard Younge, Knight and Bart; William Boswell, Thomas Jones, and John Lightfoote, Esq. have erected this monument that the just might be had in everlasting rememberance."
     If one were to assume that Jane Lightfoote was an Aske, and not a JONES, it would be extremely difficult to explain the above primary documents. It would be more likely that the pedigree published 1687 was in error if it listed the wife of Richard Lightfoot as "Jane (sic) ASKE, arising from the confusion of Mary Aske, first wife of Richard Lightfoote?
      How could Jane LIGHTFOOT not be Jane JONES, sister of Thomas JONES?

     Jane Aske was born in England around 1565. She was the daughter of Robert Aske, Citizen of London and goldsmith. She became the wife of Rev. Richard Lightfoot on February 7, 1593 in London at St. Bartholomew the Less. Jane and Richard had three sons and five daughters. Richard died in 1625. Jane wrote her will on December 20, 1649 and it was recorded with the Church of England. A copy of the will is in the files of M. Shaver. Her husband was the long time rector of St. Mary the Virgin church in Stoke Bruerne, so she could be buried in the churchyard there, or possibly in Richard's tomb, with him.

     "It is possible that the marriage record for Richard Lightfoot and Mary Aske recorded in London is wrong and that the given name should have been Jane, not Mary. It is also possible that Jane was a second wife of Richard, and even, it is possible that Jane and Mary were sisters (the given names of several of the younger daughters of Robert Aske can not be divined from the damaged parish register, though sex and date of christening can), both daughters of Robert Aske, and both married successively to Richard. But there can be very little doubt that the mother of Richard and John (who was one of the earliest children) of Rev. Richard was an Aske. I do note as well that John Lightfoot, barrister, (of Rev. Richard) named a son Robert, probably after his maternal grandfather. This Robert became an apothecary for Catherine of Braganza, Charles II's queen.“.⁶
