James S. Brown, father of the subject, was born on September 7, 1831, and his death occurred on June 27, 1910. He grew to manhood on the home farm and received such education as he could in the old-time schools of his
community. Upon reaching manhood he married Catherine Chipp, who was born January 5, 1831, and died November 8, 1867, and both are buried in Owl Creek Baptist church cemetery. They were the parents of two children,namely: William X., of New Albany, Ohio, and James M., of this review. The father became the owner of over two hundred acres of good land, which he farmed on an extensive scale. Politically, he was a Democrat until 1860,when he espoused Republican principles and ever afterwards voted the Republican ticket. While he was always interested in public matters, he was never an office seeker and never held office. He was a man of strong convictions and great moral and physical courage. After the death of his first wife, he married Catherine Stockdale, daughter of William Stockdale, who was born on June 14, 1868, which union was without issue. This wife died on August 13, 1905, and she was buried in Owl Creek cemetery.
