His wife was of German descent, one of a family of twelve children who all grew to maturity. She was born in Monongalia county, West Virginia, and for a short time after her marriage to Mr. Brown continued to live in her native state. Later they moved to Knox county, Ohio, where Mr. Brown engaged in farming for many years. In 1872 they settled in Keokuk county, this state, still interested in farming. The wife died in 1874 at the age of seventy, and the husband remained on his farm until the time of his death in 1889. Three of their nine children died in infancy, four are now living; two sons and one daughter in Keokuk county and one son in Muscatine county, Thomas. Source: History of Muscatine County Iowa, Volume II, Biographical, 1911, page 571 THOMAS BROWN. GARRETTSON BROWN and ANN HOLLAND Brown, the former a native of Maryland, and the latter of Virginia. The father made farming his life work, following that pursuit first in his native state, afterward in Ohio, and subsequently in Iowa, whither he came about 1871. He lived in Muscatine for one year and then located in Keokuk county, where he carried on agricultural pursuits until the weight of years forced him to put aside active duties. He died when more than eighty years of age, having for a few years survived his wife. Both were consistent members of the Methodist church, and their many good qualities of heart and mind gained for them the warm regard of all who knew them. Their family numbered seven children, five sons and two daughters, of whom three are now living: Reason, a farmer of Keokuk county, Iowa; Cassius M., an attorney of Sigourney, Iowa; and Elizabeth, the widow of John Trotter and also a resident of Sigourney
