What the sources support
The Clarke Courier of August 25, 1921 reports that Mrs. Mary V. Brown, mother of R. C. Brown and D. D. Brown of Berryville, died at her home at Millwood the Monday before after a long illness with Bright's disease. It says she was born in Frederick County, Virginia, 69 years before, was, before her marriage to the late R. A. Brown of Millwood, a Miss Mary Weatherholts (the spelling the page prints; whether it is a misprint for Weatherholt is unconfirmed), and was survived by seven children, among them R. C. Brown, H. E. Brown and Mrs. Florence Hummer, and buried in Mt. Hebron Cemetery, Winchester.

Uncertainty
Read from uncorrected OCR, not from the page image, except the maiden name, which two readers checked on the page image: it prints "Weatherholts." The cited passage shows the OCR reading "WeatherholtB" and does not itself carry the corrected spelling. The item dates the death only as "Monday." Of her children, R. C. Brown, H. E. Brown and Mrs. Florence Hummer have records here, each linked by proposal.
