Anson R. BROWN

Portrait & Biographical Album of Hillsdale Co., MI, 1888, p.370.

Anson R. BROWN, M.D. has been a practicing physician of Jonesville since the summer of 1883, and came into the State when it was a Territory. He was born in Richmond, Ontario Co., NY, Oct 8, 1824, and was the youngest of nine children, the offspring of John and Rhoda (CRITTENDEN) Brown, who were natives, respectively, of Conn. and Vermont. John Brown, the father of our subject, was of Scottish extraction and the mother was of English ancestry who settled in Conn. probably during Colonial days, and whose descendants later were residents in and around Great Otter Creek, near Vergennes. Zebulon Crittenden, the maternal grandfather of our subject, was married, and settled, near that place where he spent his last years. There his daughter Rhoda was born. She spent her last days at the residence of her son, our subject, at Albion, this State, passing away at the ripe old age of 88 years. John Brown died in Richmond, Ontario Co., NY, in 1825 when his son, Anson R., was only eleven months old.
Dr. Brown was early in life thrown upon his own resources and came to the Terr. of Mich. in about 1833 or 1834. He lived in different places in Mich. and Ohio, taking up the study of medicine in the little town of Defiance, Ohio, reading there and at other places until ready to enter the Eclectic Medical College of Cincinnati, from which he graduated in 1852. He began the practice of his profession in Medina, Lenawee Co., this State, whence he removed to Jackson Co., and three years later changed his residence to Cincinnati.
In the Queen City he was made Superintendent of the laboratory and wholesale drug-store of H. M. Merrill & Co., which position he held for a number of years. He returned to Mich. about 1856, and was a resident of Litchfield for a period of 16 years. He then removed to Albion and eleven years later to Jonesville, this county, and most of this time has been continuously engaged as a physician and surgeon.
Dr. Brown was married Feb. 15, 1849, in Cincinnati, to Miss Adeline E. LUNDY, who died in Jonesville in April 1883. She was the mother of eleven children, seven sons and four daughters, all of whom are living and residents of the United States. Dr. Brown contracted a second marriage, in Jonesville, on May 7, 1884, with Mrs. Sarah (APPLEGATE) SUDBOROUGH, dau. of Joseph H. and Ann (LACY) Applegate of New Jersey, and the widow of the late Joseph Sudborough of Adrian. They occupy a snug home in the central part of the city. Dr. Brown has been President of the State Eclectic Medical Association two years and, politically, is a solid Republican. Socially, he belongs to Lodge No. 40, A. F. & A. M.
