Read More	John Brown, farmer and stock raiser, was a native of Jackson county, Tennessee. He was born on the 23rd of August, 1824 and was the son of Andrew and Mary (Yount) Brown. He with his parents moved to Platte county, Missouri and settled on a farm in 1837 and in 1840 came to Nodaway county, locating in Hughes Township, where the elder Brown purchased a claim, and it was the first land broken in Nodaway county. Mr. Brown's father laid out Graham in 1855. He started out in life as a blacksmith, when at the age of 18 years, working with James Black one year, and then with Isaac Clark for a like period. In 1849 he moved some five miles north of Graham and purchased a farm of 160 acres, and farmed in connection with blacksmithing. In 1850 he went to California by the way of Salt Lake, being on the road four months. He was engaged in mining, and in 1852 returned to Missouri by the way of San Francisco to New Orleans. He followed agricultural pursuits until the breaking out of the war in 1861, when he enlisted in Company A, in Col. Slayback's Regiment, and participated in the battles of Blue Mills and Lexington, MO; Elkhorn, Arkansas; Corinth, Atlanta and Vicksburg. At the close of the war he returned to his home in Nodaway County, MO, remaining a short time, and then started for Nebraska. After an absence of 18 months he came again to Nodaway county and rented a farm for two years, when he purchased his present place of 254 acres of finely improved land.
