• Notes

  Obituary - Oliver H. Brown Drowned. Oliver H. Brown of Bellport, a yacht sailor who had charge of Oliver Robinson's packet, operating between Bellport and points on the Great South Beach, was drowned near the shore at the foot of Bellport avenue, Saturday evening in water not more than four foot deep. Mr. Drown brought the boat to her moorings and was left alone aboard her. Some time afterward an alarm was caused by his failure to reach his home, and a search was made. He was not aboard the boat and finally the waters were dragged, and his body was found. He had evidently fallen and struck his head somehow, stunning him so he was powerless to save himself. There was a severe contusion on the head. He was 28 years old and Ieaves a wife and two children. (The Suffolk County news., August 22, 1919, Page 8; Oliver H. Brown in the New York, Death Index, 1852-1956, Certificate Number: 50110)
