Brown area historian Jane Brown dies just before 95th birthday
Area historian and teacher Jane Brown died at almost 95 after a long life of preserving local memory. Travelstead praised her memory work and anecdotal detail in her book, noting it sold out in two printings and may see a third. Family and colleagues recall her keen intellect, meticulous documentation, and final weeks spent writing history for the historical society and Union County orchards project. Visitation is at Lutz and Rendleman Funeral Home in Anna, with memorials to Union County Museum.
