William H. D. Brown, the other member of this firm, was born in Paris, 
Ill., in 1855, being the son of Alexander and Elizabeth (Malicoat) 
Brown. His father was born and reared in North Carolina, and when a 
young man went to Indiana, whence, after a short time, he removed to 
Illinois. He did not remain in the latter mentioned State more than 
two years, but returned to Indiana, enlisted in the army there, and 
died in the service. He was a blacksmith by occupation. The mother was 
born in Tennessee, and when young removed to Indiana, where she now 
resides. William H. D. Brown was reared in Indiana, remaining with his 
mother until eighteen years of age, when he began the pursuit of his 
own livelihood, engaging as a farm laborer for three years. He then 
engaged in farming for himself in Eastern Kansas, and continued for 
three years, at the end of which time he came to Eureka Springs. In 
1878 he was married to Julia A. Webb, a sister of his partner. They 
have three children living, Carrie E., Elias and Alfred, and three 
dead. Mrs. Brown is a member of the Christian Church. Mr. Brown is a 
member of the town council. Both Mr. Webb and Mr. Brown are Democrats 
in politics. They are justly recognized as public-spirited and 
enterprising citizens, and their mill adds a material industrial 
business to the county.
