William Brown.

   William Brown, the youngest son of George I. Brown, was born in Nicholasville
on the 23d of May, 1839; he died June 1, 1890. He was a man of brilliant parts.
He allied himself with the Republican party, and attained a high place in its
councils. Senator James B. Beck said of him that he was the strongest man of his
party with whom he had ever come in contact. He was a warm, personal friend of
James G. Blaine, who had a great admiration for his talents and his ability. His
mind was analytic, comprehensive and logical. At school he did not appear to
study as other boys, but he always knew his lessons and fully understood every
subject of which the text books treated. He was fearless and on many occasions
eloquent Had he devoted himself to the law, his chosen profession, rather than
to have entered the domain of politics, he would have become one of the first
jurists of the country.
