     DR. SAMUEL A. BROWN, who for many years has been numbered among the 
leading medical practitioners of Portland, commands the sincere respect of all 
who know him, because of the splendid service which he has been able to render 
to his fellowmen. He was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on the 3d of June, 1852, 
a son of Samuel and Hannah (Ellis) Brown. In 1869 the father, who was a farmer 
by occupation, brought his family to Oregon and soon afterward bought what was 
known as the Bowles farm, four miles southeast of Oregon City. There he 
continued his farming operations for a number of years, meeting with such 
success that he was eventually enabled to retire, and he and his wife 
established their home in New Era, Clackamas county, where their deaths 
occurred.

     Samuel A. Brown received his elementary education in the public schools 
and then entered the medical school of Michigan University at Ann Arbor, from 
which he was graduated in 1880 with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. He at 
once came to Portland and entered upon the practice of his profession, to 
which he has devoted forty-eight years of his life, though he is now partially 
retired from active work. Through his skill and ability he commanded a large 
practice and gained a worthy reputation for his devotion and unselfish efforts 
in behalf of suffering humanity.

     Dr. Brown married Miss Mary Cook, of Portland, though a native of 
Massachusetts, and to them was born a child who died in infancy. The Doctor 
has shown a keen interest in his home city and has made liberal investments in 
down-town real estate, being the owner of a number of valuable properties, 
and, in partnership with his brother, Dr. Ellis C. Brown, owns the Ockley 
Hotel. He is interested in the Y. M. C. A. building and the work of that 
organization. The Doctor is an authority on life and race and for the past 
twenty years has been compiling a work called the "House of Israel or the 
Anglo-Saxon Race." He is a stanch republican in his political affiliation and 
has always evidenced a good citizen's interest in public affairs. Courteous 
and kindly in manner and constant in his friendships, he commands the uniform 
respect and esteem of all who have come in contact with him.
