The States- man is printing will bo valuabbe as a f oundation for some future histery et Durhamu County, 1 should like te pay tribute te one remarkablo tamily as- sociatod with Tyrone and itýý tam-' eus sehool et which Mr. Geo. ài Gib- bard and Mrs. Geo. A. Watts have teen writiag. Mr. William Brown achieved celebrity before. 1 came te the aeigh- borhood. At thattime 1 was a bey and te my youthtul imagination hoe rwa- c--ostdtsinguah-d--mn itieL towaship. Other mon wore comn- menly spokon et by their Christian namnes, but hoe was abways "Coun- ciller Brown". H1e had been on the Council Board se )long and was se long a Scbool Trustee that hoe wieldod predeminant influeonce la the muni- cipal and educatioltal lite et the com- muaity aad throughout West Dur- ham. As there was ne Presbytorian Churcli at Tyrone hoe 4-orshipped irn Enniskillen, and it xvas an imprea- sive sight te sooe the Brown democrat with a dozen or more- porsons packed into its four dapacieus seats drive up te the Preshyterian Church, and neyer was the Brown boad known te arrive late. Mr. Brown was a 411b man with a long nese and a gonial disposition; as much beleved in private bite as distinguished la public servd4ce. 1According te my fancy there were twe -we'n4erful thing$ about the Brew-ns . 1 had nover before kaown such a tremead- ously large family. It was large' wbether counted, weighed or measur- ed; yes, er estimated in any ether way. Fer it possessed quality as webb as quantity. There were onby fourteen chibdren whea I first, met them but three atterwards brouglit up the total te soventeen. -la the firat 'family-Councillor Brown Was twice married-there 'were William, Irwia, Harry, Mary Jane, Margaret, Maria, and the twins-John and Joseph. Ia the second family wero Esther, James, Susan, Frank, Thomas, Samn- uel, Ida, Emma and Etta. Thât's correct, I tbiak, though my memory May have varied the order ef thte procession. Another wonderful tbing about-the family caught my imagination-that was "thek blind girl". Mary Jane Brown when sevea years, of age took inflammation ilalber eyeý whicb re- sulted in the ls ef sight. R er mis- fortune seemed lanen way te ia- capacitate bier for bousehold duties, for she coubd sweep and dust aad wash dishes, etc. She walked about the bouse and grounds with the dir- ectness et one possossod etf perfect vision.- Indoed, much ef the coeking for the ýhousehold fel te bier lot, al- though it made one norvous te see bier handbing pots and kettles with boiliag contents. She acquired wide tame, tee, for knittiag wooen mitts in intrîcate patteras with three col- ora et yara. She was- cheerful, intelligent, andl moat excellent good cornpany. How she came te attend the Goverament Institution for the blînd I do net kaow, but she was net long there tili ahe became one et their most offi- cient teachers. R-er skill with the sewing machine was woaderful. To sec bier thread, the needie and adjust the tensions was 'somethiag hike watching sbeigbht-ot-haad. At the Institution shie mot a gifted musician, named Booth, who like bier- sebf was blind. Cupid provided alb the vision aecossary te courtship and marriage, and the distiaguisbed couple made for themselves a circle et adniiring frienda. Calliag at their home in Oshawa one niglit I tound the bouse la blank d4rkaess and teared that ne one was at home. -But the deor was prompt- ly opened te my knock and Mrs. Booth burried te bight a Lanip for my benefit, remarking as she did s, "You aeed a ligbt, et course, but for us there is ne darkaess at aîl". Death cbosed bier useful and beautiful earthly career seme years age. John H. Brown *as pbysically bandsome and intellectually gifted. Hej was the first boy in, the family cauglit by the flame et ambition. In these clays hoe was teachiag scoel at linydon, but devoted bis beisure te improviag bis mind and bis peaman- ship. Il enjoyed seeing bim practiso bis gifted pen, and fer a long time cher- ished a sample et bis chirography. 1The reama et paper hoe crammed with .ornamental scrolîs were net wasted, 1bowever, ferr ho waa called te, Port 1Hope as Writing Master. his swift equine. Just here I must introduce a bit of humer. The Browns at one time had a celebrated fierce rami. None of the lîttle Browns dared enter lis sheep pen or pasture, and ne one was safe in lis presence. Well, oe memerable day Jim was crossing the pasture field with ne danger in sight. Jee saw Jim, however, and thinkîng te have some fun ran tilb he almost overtook his junior brother, then tip- toing te dloser quarters hie struck head on at Jim's. receding figure. Neither of the boys had observed the proximity of the maie sheep with the distressful lieras. But bis ramshipi was en punctual duty, and, just as Joe beat te buat Jim, the rami caught Joe in the rear, and in one f el in- stant the whole three animaIs were trying te unscramble themselves. The funny thiag about it was that ne body laughed-at the time., But if his _hornship went back and told eh tir slieep, I tncy the w o e flock must have laughed0- Aayway, Jim abways maîataiaed that the rami "had the bulge on Joe". Jim's first musical instrument was the 1fife, te which hie afterward added tInte, piccalo and organ. When about sixteen or seventeen years ef age, but a giant of a man f or size, the Enniskillen Orange Lodge did this yeuth the hener te engage him as fit er for the Twefth ef July par- ade at Bowmaaville, aad it was a. great day for the boy. He hnd neyer before enjoyed se much glory. The, ledge was proud ef their mus- ician and Jim was'delighted with the exploit. Fer blowing something less Ithan a million cubice feet of cemmon air into Orange patterns lhe receîved, 1 think, three dollars. But thrêe dollars was a large sum ia these days -especially for a boy. A year or twe later Jim emnulated bis brother Irwin L., by cemmencing te teacli singing schocfl. Aise hee was appointed leader ef the choir at the Presbyterian Church at Ennis- killen. Ris voice was exceedingly sweet and attractive. I have heard many far famed soloists sing "The Death of Nelson", but I weuld rather hear bis rendiîin than any other. Jim won famne in another way. He invented a churn which recked ike a cradie and made butter, with such little effort that it threatened te abolish the "dash" churn £rom the co uatry. H1e was fieoded with ord- ers when the fever ef ambition made hlm sick with discontent. H1e suiff r- ed for quite a long timne in silence. 11e wanted te become a dector but had ne capital. 11e was growa up and the hill difficulty looked ,desper- ately steep. At last hie unbosomed himself te bis mother and the Coun- ciller, and, presto! the door opened invitingly te bis coveted future. He' weuld become a physician. But, first he,.must pass the entrance examirlation and then matriculate. Thius, hie f eh inte the hands of Guy 1 Andrews, and found in lhe Tyrone Publi Scbool teacher a1 friend and benef ctor. Neyer could he singi the praises et histeacher tee high. f Neyer dîd lhe fe!get hlm. Ris' schooling was a long, slow precess, but application and capacity and time finally made a melebill ef bis mount- ana. Ris fine singing made him a prime favorite with the students al Old Trinity Medical Schoeb, Toronto. H1e graduated la 1884, and almost im- mediately saibed for the Obd Land, and later at Edinburgh hie took bis L. R. C. P. and went straight up te London for bis M. R. C. S. Retupçtng te bis native -land Dr. James E. Brown married Miss Maggie Ensson of Stratford, and settled down te practke at Arkona.- In a few years hie built up a lucrative practice, oftea beiag called te arger places in consultation. But caugbt' by the bure et larger things hie moved te Chicago, 111. Thence hie found bis way te the Klondyke. Iii ater.years hie returned te Medicine, and had at- tained a large practice in Toronto wben ln 1918 under the Influenza epidemic hoe f ll, through fidelity te professional dluty,* a victim te the flu.
