John Charles Brown -- Although much has been written concerning the various portions of the history of the Civil war, yet because of the immensity of that terrible disaster, it was impossible to give personal notice of the achievements of the individuals who participated therein. Consequently when it becomes possible to voice forth, even in this incomplete way, the career of one who sacrificed all to give himself in defense of his country and to hold aloft unsullied that banner of freedom, it is with pleasure that we grasp the opportunity and make mention of the worthy and brave deeds of the noble veteran whose name initiates this paragraph. Mr. Brown was born in Williamsburg, New York, on April 1, 1834, being the son of John C. and Minnie (Tascha) Brown. When he was eight years of age his parents removed to the state of Missouri, where he received a common school education and remained until fifteen years of age and then entered upon a seafaring life, following the same for five years. During this time he visited the leading seaports in the world and then returned to work for wages on the land. On June 5, 1861, he pressed to the front and offered his services in defense of the Union, enlisting in Company D, Second United States Cavalry, serving until the close of the war. He participated in many battles and much arduous service in these weary years, ever ready at the call of duty, pressing into the spot where work was to be done and never flinching from the post of danger. Among many others, he took part in the following struggles: Bull Run, where he received a wound; Gettysburg; and Lookout mountain, receiving another wound at this place. When he left the service at the close of the war he had been promoted as non-commissioned officer. Immediately following his discharge he reenlisted in the Thirteenth Infantry for service against the Indians, rendering the same in Montana, where he assisted to build the first fort at Camp Cook and the second fort at Sun River. Here he had some thrilling experiences in the fights against the red men. After the expiration of his period of enlistment he packed and mined in the western country for nineteen years, traversing this county, among others, then went to California for seven years and then came to Morrow county in 1881. He took a homestead three miles north from Heppner, where he still lives and owns one section [640 acres] of good land and raises hay and garden products. His is a fine place and well improved. [This was before farmers discovered that much wheat could be grown here.]
