Author: Luther A. Ingersoll, Editor (1893)

JOSEPH C. BROWN, the subject of this sketch, came to California by the Sunset
route, via New Orleans, from Oxford, England, in the year 1883. His father,
Joseph Brown, was born in Oxford, England, in the year 1820, and his mother,
whose maiden name was Susan Palmer Bezant, was born in 1823 and died in 1877.
They had a family of five children, all sons, Joseph C. being the fourth-born.
The mother was a descendant of an old and distinguished family.

  The subject of our sketch obtained his education principally in the public
schools, and he is by trade a miller. He came to King City a few years ago and
was engaged as head miller in the Central Milling Company's mills, at a salary
of $120 per month. This position he still retains, his services being regarded
as very efficient. He resides on his claim of 160 acres, located a few miles
from King City, in what is known as the Shearer school district.

  Mr. Brown was married in the year 1874, to Miss Eliza Jane Oaksford, by whom
he has six children, three sons and three daughters.
