Hon. E. Frank Brown, county judge of Buffalo County, Nebraska, is a native of Iowa, but has been a resident of Nebraska since 1888. He was born at Maquoketa, Jackson County, Iowa, July 29, 1866. He acquired an elemental education in the common schools of the state and prepared for college at the Jefferson Academy, entering the Iowa State university and graduating from that institution with the class of 1887. During vacations he read law, and after leaving college entered the law offices of Howard & Rose and of Zola A. Church. In April 1888, Mr. Brown removed to Kearney and was admitted to practice at the May term of the district court at that place. In the spring of 1892 he was elected police judge of Kearney and served two terms, and in the fall of 1897 he was elected county judge, which office he now occupies. While attending the Iowa State university Mr. Brown acquired training in military tactics and was appointed captain of one of the companies of cadets. The training led him to take an active part in the formation of Company A of the Second Regiment, Nebraska National Guard, in May 1891, and he was commissioned as its captain. At the expiration of the first term of enlistment, in 1894, he withdrew from the company.
