Jerod Brown.

JEROD BROWN, a farmer residing on section 7, Dresbach Township, claims New York as the state of his nativity. He was born in Clinton County on the 4th of March, 1830, and under the parental roof was reared to manhood, the days of his boyhood and youth being quietly passed. When he had arrived at man's estate he started out in life, and has since been dependent on his own resources, so that whatever success be has achieved is due entirely to his own efforts. His first work was in a sawmill, where he received $16 per month in compensation for his services. This mill was located on the Hudson River, and he was there employed for about three years, after which he started westward, having determined to try his fortune on the broad prairies of the Mississippi Valley. He started in April,1852, and on the 8th of May reached Bunnell's Landing. Soon after he came to Dakota, where he engaged in chopping wood and working on the railroad. He followed various pursuits whereby he might earn an honest living until his marriage, when he turned his attention to farming.

On the 4th of November, 1855, Mr. Brown was united in marriage with Miss Harriet C. Mott, daughter of Annis Mott. They began their domestic life on section 1, New Hartford Township, where Mr. Brown had a farm of one hundred and sixty acres. There he made his home for thirty-five years, giving his time and attention to agricultural pursuits. He prospered in his undertakings, and his enterprise and industry were rewarded by a comfortable competence. He afterward removed to his present home, where he owns ten acres of land, which is devoted to the raising of berries. This is his only business, and it yields him an income sufficient for his present wants, and he has a snug sum laid by for a rainy day.

To Mr. and Mrs. Brown were born five children, three of whom are yet living. Ann Eliza, born January 10, 1857, died December 30, 1861; Olive T., born January 25, 1860, is the wife of Edward F. Shippey, who resides on the old homestead farm in New Hartford Township; Leonard J., born October 21, 1862, lives on the farm with his sister; Vincent C., born March 21, 1866, makes his home in Appleton, Minn.; and Charles L., born March 26, 1873, died November 3, 1882.

Mr. Brown is numbered among the pioneer settlers of Winona County. On leaving his old home in the East lie went by stage from Glens Falls to Port Edward, and thence by rail to Buffalo, N. Y., where he took passage on a boat bound for Detroit, Mich. From that place lie proceeded by rail to New Buffalo, Mich., and thence took a boat to Milwaukee, whence he proceeded to the end of the railroad, a distance of twenty-nine miles. Here he again took a stage and went across the country to Galena, Ill., and thence by boat continued on his way to Homer, Minn. Here he went through all the experiences and hardships of frontier life. His first home was a log cabin, which was later replaced by a good frame residence. He also built a good frame barn, cleared his land of the timber, and has transformed one hundred and sixty acres of raw prairie into one of the finest farms of the county.
