Died March 7th, 1910.
In the death of Linus Weed Brown, which occurred in Monrovia, Cal., on March 7th, 1910, this Society lost one of its valued members and the Engineering Profession a most able exponent.
Mr. Brown was born in Burnside, Orange County, N.Y., in August, 1856, and received his early education in the schools of that town. He studied his profession in the Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, N.J.
At the age of eighteen he entered the machine shops of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and later was employed as Draftsman by that Company, which position he held until 1880.
