The information on Charles I Brown's later life and death is on page 105, the references on page 114, which indicates that the information on his later life came from

“Legend of Our Legacy: Reclaiming the Lost History of Sigma's Final Founder” (presented at the 2007 Phi Beta Sigma International Conclave, Charlotte, N.C.). The scholarship in this presentation was compiled by Phi Beta Sigma members Todd LeBon, Kevin Christian, Linden Houston, and Mark Pacich, in conjunction with the Phi Beta Sigma Historical Society"

If this was presented within the last 6 months, then maybe they haven't had a chance to update the website, but 7 years?

The only other research that I've seen was a blog from 2006 that was searching for Charles I Brown with an address in Pittsburgh gotten from Howard, but wasn't posted to afterward. http://charlesibrown.blogspot.com/

I could call Phi Beta Sigma's Headquarters on this (local call), but given the lack of response that I got calling Delta Sigma Theta's HQ (also local) on why the Theta in their shield is spelled the way that it is, I doubt I'd get much response.
