Brown, John (deceased) - Although others now conduct the drug store he 
founded, the name of Brown's drug store clings to the store at the corner of 
Liberty and Main streets, and John Brown is not forgotten in Morris.  He was 
born in England, September 1, 1825, a son of William Brown, a soldier in the 
English army.  John Brown came to Morris about 1865, although he had been 
living in Grundy County for some fifteen years prior to that date.  He served 
Grundy County as Supervisor from Aux Sable Township, and was a member of the 
Morris School Board.  In 1875, he bought what was known as the Hopkins House 
and conducted it for five years, but after that devoted himself to his drug 
business which he had established upon locating at Morris.  In 1850 Mr. Brown 
married Ann Brown, born in 1826, and they had nine children.  In politics Mr. 
Brown was a Republican.
