Charles William Brown, deceased, was long and actively identified with the agricultural interests of the town of Fitchburg, and deserves recognition among his confreres of that noble occupation.
He was born in Wheeling, W.Va., August 4, 1854, and was the only son born to William Brown and his wife Elizabeth, who came to Wisconsin and located in Dane county when the subject of this review was a mere boy. A daughter, Mary Elizabeth, is the wife of Thomas Seals and resides at Bridgeport, Ohio. The parents established their home in the town of Fitchburg, and there Charles W.

When he reached the required age he began his independent career and worked as a farm hand until his marriage in 1876, and then removed to Minnesota, where he farmed for two years. In 1878 he returned to Fitchburg, and after renting a place for about two years moved to the old parental homestead and resided there for twelve years. He then removed to the Kiser place in the same township, and after remaining there for two years moved to another farm, and a year later moved to another farm in the same township, where he resided until his death, November 8 1898.
