Susan Estella Brown Huber (1876-1905)

Susan Estella Brown, my great grandmother, was born on November 11, 1876 in Faribault County, Minnesota to William Brown and Ann Bottomley Brown.  She was the fifth of their seven children.  She was raised in Winnebago, Minnesota and attended the State Normal School in Mankato.  After graduating in 1896, she taught school for three years.

On  July 12, 1899, she married Milton Milo Huber.  Susan and Milton had two children while living in Winnebago:  Philip (born 1901) and Charlotte (born 1903).  The family moved to Beltrami County, Minnesota in the fall of 1904, in the hope that  a different climate would improve Susan's health.  She died on March 1, 1905 at the age of 28,  in Liberty, Minnesota of consumption (tuberculosis).

Her remains were returned to Winnebago by train, and she was buried in Basey Cemetery.
