   SAMUEL J. BROWN, restaurant and saloon keeper, Findlay, was born in Medina
County, Ohio, August 1, 1846, son of Ephraim H. and Eliza M. McConnel Brown,
natives of Pennsylvania who settled in this county from Medina County. Ohio, in
an early day. They now reside in Arcadia, this county. Their family consists of
one son and three daughters: Ellen Jane, wife of David Brubacher, of Wood
County, Ohio; Rachel, wife of C. Roller, of Arcadia, this county; Martha, wife
of Philip Ruch, of Fostoria, Seneca Co., Ohio, and Samuel J. The subject of this
sketch spent his early life on a farm in Cass Township, this county, and at the
age of eleven years began clerking in the store of David Peters, of Arcadia,
Ohio, where he spent five years. He next sold goods in Fostoria, Ohio, and March
8, 1863, came to Findlay, where he was in same line for several years. In 1875
he embarked in the boot and shoe trade in company with Mr. Schuch, which
partnership continued until 1883 when our subject retired from same and went
into the restaurant and saloon business, with which he has been prominently
identified since. Mr. Brown has always taken an active part in matters tending
to the development of Find-lay, and while being averse to holding public office,
has served with credit in the councils of the city. He is a worthy member of the
Masonic order; a polite and amiable gentleman; and, although possessed of all
the fine qualifications essential to the making of a good husband, he is still
treading the thorny paths of celibacy.
