HON. HENRY G. BROWN

     A prominent farmer and stock grower, living four miles west of Elkton, and
possesses a valuable farm of 1,280 acres, on which he located in 1852.  Mr.
Brown is a native of Coos county, New Hampshire, born January 15, 1833.  He left
New Hampshire in the spring of 1852, to come to Oregon.  On arrival in this
state he came direct to Douglas county, and located on his present farm.  At the
Republican convention of Douglas county in 1882, Mr. Brown was nominated as
candidate for the legislature, and at the subsequent election was chosen by a
handsome majority to an office he filled with ability and good judgment, and to
the entire satisfaction of his constituents.  He was united in marriage to Miss
Pricilla Stearns.  They have five children, viz:  Hattie S., Samuel H., Ellen
M., Caroline and Marthee.  A view of Mr. Brown's fine residence, built in 1883,
is placed in this work.
