The family resided in Ohio for a number of years, and while a resident of that state enlisted as a soldier on September 24th, 1862. He served for a term of three years, and was mustered out with his company in June 20th, 1865. At the close of the war he returned to his Ohio home and was united in marriage with Miss Juliaetta Traver, on December 31st, 1865. Soon after their marriage they came to Delaware county, and made this place their home for over thirty years. He leaves to mourn his death the aged wife, and son, Harry Brown of Manchester, one daughter, Mrs. Gertrude Splitler, eight grand children, and one great grandchild, also one brother, Morgan Brown, of Berg Hill, Ohio; and two sisters, Mrs. Mary Sculian of Youngstown, Ohio; and Mellie Hall, of Berg Hill, Ohio.
