Reverend Oliver Leon Brown remained active in the NAACP, and continued working as an assistant pastor of St. John AME Church in Kansas. He and his family later moved to Springfield, Missouri, where he served as pastor of St. Mark AME church for over six years, before assuming charge of Benton AME Church, also in Springfield.
Rev. Brown died of a heart attack in 1961, just seven years after the landmark ruling in Brown v. Board of Education that put an end to de jure (legal) segregation.
Brown had been traveling with a friend, Rev. Maurice Lang, between Springfield, Missouri and Topeka, Kansas, on his way to meet family members and celibrate his wife's parents' 50th wedding anniversary. About halfway into the trip, he began to feel ill. His condition worsened during the last 20 miles of the trip, and he was pronounced dead on arrival at a Topeka hospital. He was only 42 years old.
Rev. Brown was survived by his three daughters, Linda, Terry and Cheryl, and his wife Leola.
