Biographical Sketch Of Henry Brown And Bank President

In 1856, Alfred Brown and Elizabeth, his wife, parents of the subject of this sketch, removed from Yadkin County, North Carolina, to Henry County, and settled near Messick. Here they remained about two years and then moved to Georgia, settling in Bartow County near Cartersville. There the portents of the coming struggle between North and South found them, but being staunchly opposed to the dissolution of the Union, they returned to Henry County, arriving on Christmas Day, i860, and settling on the farm of Samuel Brown, in Liberty Township. Alfred Brown, the father, died on the Brown farm in' 1861 and was buried in Flatrock Cemetery, Liberty Township, where his remains still rest.' Elizabeth Brown, his widow, is still living, hale and hearty, at the age of eighty four years. Six children were born to them, namely : Henry, Nathan, William, Catharine, Melinda and Delilah, and all are living at the present time, except Catharine, the eldest daughter.

Henry Brown was born December 7, 1840. When he came to Henry County with his parents, he was a mere lad, but he began at once to make his own way in the world, working out by the day and month for such neighbors as William Millikan, William Bell, Jared Covalt, John Schildknecht and other prosperous farmers.

On September 23, 1864, he was mustered into the service of the United States as a private soldier in Company G, 9th Indiana Infantry, and joined his regiment at Huntsville, Alabama. He was with this gallant regiment, doing duty in Alabama and Tennessee, until June 20, 1865, when he was mustered out of the service. Returning from the war to Liberty Township, he there rented a piece of land from Jared Covalt for whom he had formerly worked and who had become a firm friend of the young man.

On December 12, 1868, he and his two brothers jointly purchased the Lewis Pouts' farm, consisting of one hundred and twenty acres of land, lying near the site of the present town of Mooreland, for which they were to pay fifty dollars per acre. They went in debt for the whole purchase price of the land, except four hundred dollars of Henry Brown's ov/n savings which were applied in payment on the farm. Shortly after the completion of this purchase, his two brothers desiring to withdraw, Henr}' Brown bought out their interests in the land and assumed the indebtedness. After twelve years of unremitting toil, he had his farm paid for, was clear of debt and had his original capital of four hundred dollars on hand. With continued thrift and energy he added to his property until at one time his landed possessions consisted of three hundred and eighty seven acres, but by sales and by gifts to his children he has reduced his holdings to two hundred and fifty acres. This property is all highly improved and consists of as good land as there is anywhere in Blue River Township. In the management of his property, Mr. Brown has never adopted the rental system but has always utilized the land himself, raising his own grain and stock.

prosperity, Mr. Brown saw the demand for banking facilities become more and more pronounced. Accordingly, in September, 1902, he assisted in the organization of the Mooreland State Bank and from its foundation has been its president and has given to it his earnest attention and best thought. Whether as farmer or banker, Mr. Brown is conservative in thought and action and has the unbounded confidence of his community. He is not a member of any religious denomination nor of any secret order but his life has always been governed by the principles of equity and fair dealing.

On November 14, 1867, Mr. Brown married Hannah Smith, daughter of Mr. and Airs. Stephen Smith, residents of Liberty Township, near the old town of Petersburg. To this union have been born twelve children, six of whom are now living. Harvey is a prosperous farmer living in Stony Creek Township, Henry County. Alonzo, also a prosperous farmer, lives in Blue River Township, near his father's farm. Mary Louise, now Mrs. William Schweikhardt, lives in Blue River Township, her husband cultivating a part of Mr. Brown's farm. Fannie, now Mrs. Uriah Paul, lives in Liberty Township, near the old town of Petersburg, and Nellie, now Mrs. Edward Abbott, lives in the western part of Wayne County, three miles northwest of Hagerstown. Edgar, the youngest boy, eleven years old, lives on the farm with his father.

Mr. Brown's own educational opportunities were, at the best, limited, but he has always been the steady friend of education and has given his children the benefit of the best schools existing in his neighborhood.

Patience, persistence and untiring energy have marked the career of Henry Brown since his early manhood, and now, in the decline of life, secure of a competence and beloved of his family, he can contemplate with satisfaction a well spent life.
