Allerton Times January 4, 1907 page 1
Was born in Edgar county May 20, 1868. Moved here from there to the Ralston farm, now occupied by Frank Wood when he was two years old. After a short time at this place they moved to the farm now owned by D. Martinie, occupied by F. E. Black. In 1872 his father purchased the farm now owned by J. W. George.
Mr. Brown's father was the first veterinary surgeon in this country and Grant decided to make that profession his life work, receiving instructions from his father. Soon after this village was laid out, he entered into the drug business in connection with his veterinary work coming back and forth from his father's farm where he boarded. His drug store occupied the building in which W. B. Lackleman has his restaurant. He moved his store to its present location in January, 1901. His father, at the time of his death, was the oldest practicing veterinarian in this part of the state. Grant has been practicing here for the past twenty years and has an enviable practice and a reputation second to none in the state.
