History of Callaway County:
Dr. John Jefferson Brown:
In the late 1850's, John and his brother went to Utica, New York and both entered Medical School. The Civil War began, both armies cut them off from home. John quit school and got a job as a brakeman on the New York Central Railroad. He worked and put his brother thru school. After the war John returned home and found his family intact. He completed his own medical education, returning to Utica.
Following the reciept of his medical degree, John decided to locate in the developing west. He settled in Holts Summit and opened his practice. John later married Mary Adams and to this union three daughters were born. Two of the daughters died in childhood. Anne, the third daughter, lived to adulthood and married Elmer C. Henderson.
Dr. Brown's practice in Holts Summit was successful but had its drawbacks. It was pure country practice on muddy roads, with horse and buggy, and often in severe weather. Also, few patients paid him in money. There just wasn't much in this area in those days, subsequently payment for his services was mostly in produce, live stock, meat or what have you.
Around the turn of the century, the Chicago and Alton Railroad built a line from Mexico through Fulton and Holts Summit to Cedar City. Much of Callaway County was heavily wooded in those days, consequently patients paid their bills more and more with ties. Dr. Brown sold the ties to the railroad. By the time the railroad was completed his tie business had become more demanding than his medical practice. He abandoned his practice of medicine and moved to Fulton where he resided the rest of his life.
Around this time his wife died. He continued in the tie and lumber business, now buying farms, cutting the timber and selling the cleared land, as well as supplying the Chicago and Alton with the cross ties.
Dr. Brown married Edmona Foster during the early 1900's. One child, John Jefferson Jr. was born in 1908.
Dr. Brown was a most active member of the Babtist Church.
Surviving him are his daughter, Anne (Elmer) Henderson, one son, John J. Brown, grandchildren, Elmer Henderson Jr. and Anne (Peter) Cooke, Mona (Norman Winston) Freiberger, Joan (Charles) Clark and Paul (Gere Allison) Jefferson Brown, four great-grandchildren.
