     McDANNELL BROWN.  Among the able lawyers and public spirited citizens of 
Portland stands McDannell Brown, who was born in Marquette, Michigan, on the 
9th of August, 1897, and is a son of George Arthur and Ethelyan (McDannell) 
Brown. In 1903 the family came to Portland, where the father is still engaged 
in the practice of law. The mother died in June, 1927.

     McDannell Brown received his preliminary education in the public schools 
and in 1917 enlisted for service in the World war, being assigned to a machine 
gun company, with which he was sent overseas. He was in the active service 
there for eighteen months, taking part in some of the most important 
engagements, including the Meuse-Argonne drive. He was promoted to a second 
lieutenancy while in France and at the close of the war returned home and was 
honorably discharged. He entered the law school of the University of 
Washington, from which he was graduated in 1923, and has since been engaged in 
the practice of law. He is attorney for several corporations and has gained 
well earned recognition as a capable, determined and resourceful practitioner, 
faithful to the interests of his clients and honorable in all of the relations 
of life.

     On September 23, 1927, Mr. Brown was united in marriage to Miss Gretchen 
Brown, of Salem, Oregon. He is a member of the Psi Upsilon college fraternity 
and the Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity. A man of earnest purpose, unquestioned 
integrity and consistent life, he has won not only the confidence and respect 
of those who have been associated with him, but his cordial and unaffected 
manner has gained for him a large circle of loyal friends.
