GEORGE F. BROWN.

   Having lived beyond the age of the average man, Mr. Brown, whose name
introduces this sketch, was no doubt able to close his eyes in his last sleep
with the satisfaction of having done his duty both to his family and his fellow
man, and in leaving those near and dear to him well fixed with the material
things of this world, being one of the most prosperous stockmen of Carrollton
township.

   George F. Brown, deceased, was born on January 1, 1849, in Carroll county,
and died on February 22, 1913. He was a son of Daniel and Elizabeth Brown. His
education was obtained at the district schools in Carroll county. After his
marriage, Mr. Brown settled down on a farm near Camden, Indiana, where he spent
the remainder of his life. He was a successful and prominent agriculturist, and
later became greatly interested in the breeding of thoroughbred stock of various
kinds, of which he sold a large number each year. Politically, Mr. Brown was
always a loyal Democrat, but never took an active interest in politics.

   Daniel Brown, father of our subject, came to Carroll county from Ohio at an
early date. His wife was E. J. McCain.

   George F. Brown was united in marriage, February 10, 1874, with Emeline
Stone, daughter of John and Cinthia A. Stone. She was born on July 9, i860, in
Carroll county, where they settled down and spent the remainder of their lives;
Mrs. Brown dying on April 11, 1895. She was a member of the Presbyterian church
and was the mother of three children: Lottie, who graduated from the public
school, and is living with her brother on the farm; William Brown, who died at
the age of eighteen months; John O. Brown was reared on the farm, they now own,
consisting of two hundred acres, and located seven and a half miles southeast of
Camden, Indiana. After graduating from the public schools he selected the
occupation of an agriculturist and became very successful.

   George F. Brown, although not a member of any church, was nevertheless a kind
and generous man, who always looked after the immediate needs of those who came
to him in distress.
