Sidney Francis Brown

Brown was a civil engineer and for several years and was engaged in this line of work in Cuba. When war was declared by the United States against Germany (World War I) he volunteered his services and was assigned to duty in France. After the cessation of hostilities he decided to remain in France where he was engaged in the same line of work in rebuilding the devastated portions of that country. He had been gassed by mustard gas in the Argonne Forest Advance, by having his gas mask shot from his face on the front before Verdun in 1918. He died at American Hospital in Nuelly, France from the after-effects of the gas poisoning. He was buried with military honors and rests in the American military cemetery in Paris but his body might have been returned to America. He has a marker in the Old City Cemetery.

At the first call for volunteers while a mere youth of 15 or 16 years of age Captain Tarbutton enlisted in the Washington Rifles, the first company that left this county for the war; by his soldier like bearing, and faithful discharge of duty he rose notwithstanding his youthfulness to the captaincy of the company, which rank he held at the close of the war. Among the gallant spirits that so nobly illustrated the South in the camp and battlefield, none were animated by a loftier purpose, or a sterner devotion to duty. Naturally modest, retiring and unassuming in his manners, his friendships were not hastily formed, but when formed were rarely if ever broken.
