Notes - Following the death of his wife Almira in San Diego in Dec 1887, Ammi A. Brown soon remarried. This was confirmed by the discovery of an item in the Tacoma Daily News of Sep 10 1894, which reported that Ammi A. Brown had filed for divorce from Deborah S. Brown on the grounds of desertion after only three days of marriage. A news item in the Nov 12 1894 issue of that newspaper stated in its entirety "Armi [sic] A. Brown has been divorced from Deborah S. Brown." A slightly more detailed account was printed in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer of Nov 10 1894 in a column titled "Brief Tacoma News," dateline Tacoma, Nov. 9: "A. A. Brown secured a decree of divorce today from Deborah Brown. They were married in California in 1888, started on their honeymoon and got as far as Portland, when Mrs. Brown left her new husband, after just three days of married life."
We have found nothing to further identify this Deborah S.
