      George A. Brown, son of William and Nancy (Wilson) Brown,
      was born March to, 1832, in county Tyrone, Ireland, where he was reared and educated. In 1847 came to the United States, accompanied by his brother Alexander and his sister Fannie. They settled at Jersey Shore, where George followed various pursuits until 1854, when he was employed as a miller by E. B. Campbell, of Phelps. In 1865 Campbell took him into partnership and they operated two mills, the second mill being at Safe Harbor. In 1868 Mr. Brown sold out his interest and purchased a farm at Level Corners, consisting of one hundred and forty acres, for which he paid eighteen thousand dollars. This farm he still owns. In 1886 he bought the farm upon which he now lives and which consists of sixty acres. For this farm he paid nine thousand dollars. Both these estates are in a high state of cultivation and are models of agricultural enterprise and taste. In politics he is a Republican and is strongly attached to the principles of the organization. He was bred a Presbyterian, but now belongs to the Lutheran church, of which his wife is a member.

      Mr. Brown married, February 7, 186?, Elizabeth Meyers, and the following children were born to them; Elmer E., who married Fannie Moore and has one son. 2. Annie, who is the wife of August Larrison. 3. Anson, who married Susie Clark and is the father of four children. 4. Norman M., who married Minnie Harmon, by whom he has two children. 5. Mattie, who is the wife of P. M. Fesler. 6. William, who married Gertrude Barto and is the father of two children. The mother of this family died February 14, 1879, and in November, 1894, Mr. Brown married Emma Smith, a daughter of John H. and Lavina (Cungrich) Smith.
