ALBERT BROWN
	Albert Brown. The fact that we now find located in many portions of 
Stevens county prosperous men and leading citizens,who own this as their 
native place,indicates to all that the pioneer days of the Colville valley 
are well passed and it is one of the old and well established sections of 
the great state of Washington. The subject of this article is enabled to 
claim the distinction of having been born in the beautiful valley of the 
Colville. The day when it was announced to Thomas and Jane (Mowatt)Brown 
that a son was born to them was February 15,1865. Thomas Brown is a native 
of Canada,while his wife was born midst Scotia's rugged hills. She was a 
relative of Lord Cummings,and comes from a very prominent family there. 
When young she came to Canada and there met and married Mr.Brown and in 
1854 they took that most unique of all journeys,the trip across the 
plains to the Pacific coast. In 1900 she was called to the world beyond. 
Mr.Brown,who was a leading carpenter and farmer in the valley since 
coming here,has now retired from active labor and is enjoying the 
competence secured by a life of industry and is spending the golden years 
of his life in Chewelah. Our subject received his education in the 
Colville vallry,and being ambitious he commenced the more important 
duties of life at the age of fourteen. He very wisely learned the carpenter 
trade from a skillful father and since perfecting himself in that art has 
devoted his attention almost entirely to it.
   In 1887 Mr.Brown married Miss Annie Stuck,whose parents were natives 
of Germany.
