Agnes Taylor Brown was from Double Springs, Alabama. She met Howard Richmond Brown of Jasper in a small church in Double Springs where she was playing the organ and he was performing in a quartet. The story goes that Howard, even though he had never met her, told his singing partners, “See that woman playing the organ? I’m going to marry her.” They married in 1938.

Mrs. Brown attended Howard College, later Samford University, and eventually earned a master’s degree in counseling. She served as counselor for Central Elementary and Middle School for many years. She was very active in the community and was a member of Lion’s Club Auxiliary, Crescent Study Club, Gamma Phi Beta and the American Association of University Women. She loved volunteering as a Girl Scout leader and working with mentally and physically challenged children, and children affected by polio.

Mrs. Brown was a member of the First Baptist Church Jasper where she taught Sunday School classes and sang in the church choir. She and her husband, Howard, were devoted followers of the Walker College Rebel Basketball team and attended all home games until they were no longer able to do so. Mrs. Brown was the mother of four children, Janet, Judy, O.H. and Joan.
