• Notes

  Obituary: Services for Mr. James A. Brown, were held at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Zwolle on Saturday, March 23, at 2 p.m., with Father David Richter officiating. Interment followed in St. Joseph Cemetery. Mr. Brown was born on Jan. 18, 1929, in Guin, Ala., and moved to Hamilton, Miss., at an early age, where he attended school, and worked on farms, until he enlisted in the U. S. Army. He was later transferred to the U. S. Air Force. He served as a medic during the Korean conflict, received an honorable discharge as staff sergeant, and was a member of the Air Force reserves until 1965. Mr. Brown worked at the Overton Brooks VA Hospital, as an x-ray technician, until he became involved in the service station business, and later opened his own business, Modern Paint and Body Works in Shreveport. In 1976, he moved to Zwolle, and operated Jams Brown Body Shop until his retirement in 1988. He then had time to enjoy his favorite hobbies, fishing, gardening, and especially hunting. He overcame heart bypass surgery in 1977, and a stroke in 1994, but still pursued the activities he enjoyed most. He was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Zwolle. He was a loving, devoted husband, father, grandfather, friend, and will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Survivors include his widow, Janet Brown of Converse; two sons, Jimmy, and Phillip Brown of Bellevue, Wash., Amy Lesko and husband Matt, Karah, Sarah, and Hunter Brown; one great grandchild, Noah Lesko, all of Shreveport; one brother, Lamon Brown of Amory, Miss.; six sisters, Myrt Schaffer of Forney, Texas, Dorothy Rominger of Hattiesburg, Miss., and Faye Waldon, and Carolyn Thornhill, both of Rolling Fork, Miss., Shelby Chism of Amory, Miss., and Delores Bird of Aberdeen, Miss.; special friend, Anthony Ebarb of Noble; father and mother-in-law, Cleve and Theresa Sepulvado of Noble; several brothers and sisters-in-law; numerous nieces and nephews; and a host of friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, James Connie, and Carrie Dupree Brown; and one brother, Charles Brown. Pallbearers were Cleve Sepulvado Jr., Larry E. Sepulvado, Anthony Ebarb, Phillip Garcie, Jonathon Cartinez, and Shane Sepulvado. Honorary pallbearers were his caregivers, Joel Garcie, Brenda Ebarb, Stacey "Boo" Ebarb, and Bridget Patrick. Until We Meet Again How blessed is the tie that binds Our hearts in lasting love, The comradeship of kindred minds, Is like to that above, So when at last we have to part, In sorrow, and in pain, We know we still are joined in heart, Until we meet again.
