BROWN, A. C….August 12, 1936
A. C. Brown, 73, of Estherville, well know retired banker, was almost
instantly killed yesterday morning when his car was struck by the
Northwestern passenger at the crossing near Burt on highway 169. His
car, a five passenger sedan, was struck full in the side by the gas
electric train and carried across the cattle guard before the slowly
moving train could stop. The train had just left the station and had
not gained speed. The crossing was clear and Highwayman C. B. Benedict,
who was driving behind Mr. Brown, stated in the coroner's hearing that
he could not understand how Brown alone in his car, failed to see the
oncoming train.
Mr. Brown's chest was crushed and he sustained a very bad head injury
over the eye. Although alive when extricated from the wrecked auto, he
passed away before he could be moved. Trainmen and the baggage man said
that they had thought that Mr. Brown had slowed up for the crossing and
so did not stop for him. Marks in the road would indicate that he had
had headed for the ditch but had swung back into the highway again. An
infrequent driver, Mr. Brown, had in recent years made very few out of
town trips.
The deceased man while not a pioneer of Estherville had lived here with
his family for thirty-six years, coming here from West Bend in 1900 to
open a wholesale implement building with Walter Crowell. The two story
frame building which the firm built in 1899 and occupied stood at the
corner of Lincoln and Eighth where the Champlain Oil station now stands
and they later built the brick building across the street now occupied
by J.T. Johnston. Here the firm established the first wholesale grocery
house. Later Mr. Brown was identified with Fred Richmond in the real
estate business. It is as a banker, however, that Mr. Brow was most
widely known. He owned controlling interest at different times in
banking institutions at West Bend, Ottesen, Iowa, Montrey, Ormsby, and
Chokio, Minnesota, and for about five years in Chowchilla, Cal. The
crash following the world war swept away most of the modest fortune that
Mr. Brown had accumulated but he was comfortably located with his wife
in their lovely stone home surrounded by a number of acres of land at
the east edge of Estherville and found profit and enjoyment in feeding
livestock and looks after his farm property.
His keen but kindly and humorous advice will be missed by hundred of
friends for his death leaves a gap in the community hard to fill. Mr.
Brown was born seventy-three years ago April 20, in Sierceton, Ind. In
1888 he was married to Miss Lulu Gullixson in Humboldt county. Besides
his wife, Mr. Brown leaves to mourn his sudden passing two sons, Lee of
Gilmore City and Neil of this city, two daughters, Hazel of Estherville
and Mrs. Wm. Hagens of Casper, Wyo.
Funeral services will be held on Friday afternoon at two, at the home on

Esdraelon commandry. He had served on the Estherville city council.
