J. C. BROWN.  One of the most progressive young business men of Grant
County is J. C. Brown, an Owen County boy, who has found a permanent
abiding place in Grant.  Mr. Brown is but 30 years of age, but has
accomplished many of those things which go to make up the success of
life.  He is the son of T. H. Brown and Eliza C. Brown, and was born in 
Owen County, Kentucky, December 8, 1870.  His early life was spent on 
his father's farm and his education was that which could be acquired at 
the common schools of the neighborhood.  After a brief season as a 
farmer and for a time in engaging in other occupations in Owen County 
he came to Grant in the summer of 1898 and purchased the drug store 
that had lately belonged to W. C. Johnson.  For more than a year he 
conducted it as a first-class up-to-date drug store and then sold out 
to James A. O'Hara & Co., who are yet in charge of it.  Mr. Brown, upon 
his retirement from the drug business, accepted employment at a good 
salary from the Cincinnati Leaf Tobacco Warehouse Company.  He is now 
their local agent soliciting shipments and advancing money to the 
farmers and shippers.  November 15, 1899, he was united in marriage to 
Miss Anna Scott, one of the most charming young ladies in Williamstown, 
the daughter of Dr. J. T. Scott.  Mr. Brown is one of the leading young 
business men of Williamstown destined to make his mark in the business 
world.
