• Newspaper Mention: According to the 4 March 1882 edition of the Weekly Nevada State Journal, Reno, Washoe, Nevada,
  Ervine Crane and M.C. Lake have been appointed guardians of the person and estate of Mrs. Peleg Brown, and have been requested by Judge King to give a bond in the sum of $6,700.⁶
  
• Newspaper Mention: According to the 11 March 1882 edition of the Weekly Nevada State Journal, Reno, Washoe, Nevada,
  In "Brevities", a column of a sentence about this and a sentence about that, "E. Crane took Mrs. Peleg Brown below last night. She was quite violent while being taken into the car."
  
• Newspaper Mention: According to the 18 March 1882 edition of the Weekly Nevada State Journal, Reno, Washoe County, Nevada,
  "This is the way the Sacramento Record-Union mixes it: An insane woman named Mrs. Elizabeth Brown, of Brown's Station, Nev., passed through yesterday, on her way to the asylum at Stockton. She was in charge of P. Brown and Irvin Crane, the former her husband and the latter her son-in-law. She was so violent that she had to be confined with straps, and in her ravings says that her mission on earth is to harmonize the Irish and Chinese." Since Peleg was already dead at this time, that is probably the reason for the comment "mixes it". Ervin Crane may well have taken her to CA.⁷
  
• Newspaper Mention: According to the 29 April 1882 edition of the Weekly Nevada State Journal, Reno, Washoe, Nevada,
  B. G. Clow, John Wright and A.M. Lamb, have applied to be released as sureties upon the bond of Elizabeth Brown, guardian of the minor heirs of Peleg Brown. Judge King will hear the application on May 8th.
  
• Newspaper Mention*: According to the 3 March 1883 edition of the Weekly Nevada State Journal, Reno, Washoe, Nevada,
  Page 4: The Journal understands that Dr. Clark, of Stockton, still retains insane patients committed from Nevada, and that at the time the transfer was made to the State he only turned over the indigent patients, retaining all of the paying patients, among whom are Mrs. Peleg Brown, of this county, and a Mrs. Battles, of Storey. The commissioners should take immediate steps to see that these patients are delivered to Nevada. How they overlooked it in the first place is difficult for the Journal to understand.
  
  Page 3: Home Again: Mrs. Peleg Brown returned to her home last Saturday, having been discharged from Dr. Clark's Asylum at Stockton. So the Journal yesterday morning was wrong in still believing her an inmate. Glad to know her reason has resumed its sway.⁸
  
• Newspaper Mention: According to the 15 March 1884 edition of the Weekly Nevada State Journal, Reno, Washoe County, Nevada,
  RESTORED TO HER ESTATE: Mrs. Elizabeth Brown, widow of the late Peleg Brown, who for a time was bereft of reason and sent to an Asylum for the Insane in California, and in the meantime had her property managed by E. Crane, who was appointed for that purpose, appeared in Court yesterday and asked to have the management of her property restored, and the guardian discharged. Upon the testimony of Mr. Crane and the son of Mrs. Brown to the effect that the lady is of sound mind and fully competent to manage her own affairs the Court granted the order dismissing the guardian and restoring the property to the care and custody of Mrs. Brown.⁹

  Funeral arrangements, which are in the hands of Perkins & Gulling, undertakers, have not yet been completed. The date of her funeral is expected to be announced today. Mrs. Brown was the mother of A.G. Brown, Susan E. Brown, Mrs. Jas. Wheeler, Santa Cruz, Cal., and the late Prof. Charles P. Brown. Twelve of her grand children are still living.25 Jan 1918.¹¹
