Brown was born at Fordsville, Ky., on July 24, 1896, and is the son of Charles W. and Missouri Belle Brown. His family moved to Owensboro while he was quite young and he attended the public schools of this city. After graduating from the Owensboro High School he felt the call to preach and was licensed by the Hall Street Baptist Church on July 28, 1920. His conversion had taken place at the age of 10 and he had been baptized into the fellowship of the Third Baptist Church by Dr. W. D. Nowlin in the year 1906. In preparation for the work of the ministry he attended Bethel College at Russellville, Ky., for two years. At the call of the Hopewell Baptist Church he was ordained to the minstry [sic] on September 28, 1923, by a councl [sic] composed of Elders J. J. Willett, R. W. Mayer, J. A. Bennett, W. W. Williams, B. F. Jenkins, and O. W. Yates. He served the Hopewell Church from July, 1923, to July, 1927, and again from July, 1930, to December, 1933 and Newman Church from August, 1926 to August, 1927. At other times he served the Dalton Church in Bethel Association and Bethlehem Church in Blackford Association. A throat ailment finally caused him to cease the work of the ministry and go into the field of accounting where he has served for the past several years in the employ of the Anglo- American Milling Company in Owensboro. He was married to Miss Willia Roberts on May 28, 1917, and to this union was born two sons. The first, Joseph A., died in infancy, the second, William M., is now in the U. S. Army Air Corps. Mrs. Brown was an accomplished pianist and a great asset to her husband's efforts. Their membership is now with the Hall Street Church where they continue in active participation in the Church's activities. Submitted by Sandi Gorin w/permission to post... Rev Jim Crowe
