ELIAS B. BROWN, second son of Stephen C. and Mary E. Brown, was born
December 9, 1829.  He grew to manhood on his father's farm in the Pleasant
Grove neighborhood, Washington County, and received his early education in
the Pleasant Grove Academy, where he attended at intervals until his
eighteenth year when he entered Center College at Danville, remaining for
the year and making substantial progress in his various studies.  He chose
agriculture for his life work, and at the age of twenty-one engaged in
farming two miles east of Springfield, where he has resided since 1851.
His farm, consisting of 355 acres of fine land, is one of the best stock
farms in the county, and as a successful raiser of stock, Mr. Brown has few
equals in this part of Kentucky.  Mr. Brown was married April 4, 1855, to
Miss Mary E. Thompson, daughter of James and Nancy (Litsey) Thompson, of
Washington County.  The children born to this marriage are the following:
Jane D., wife of James Ewing; Nannie, wife of Newell McClosky; Stephen C.
(deceased), William James T., Elias B. (deceased), Lucy, Mary, Beverly,
Jewett and Veola T. Brown.  Mr. Brown has never been an aspirant for
official position and is a conservative in politics, voting for the man
rather than the party.  He and wife are active members of the Pleasant
Grove Presbyterian Church, to which he has belonged since 1855, and in
which he holds the position of elder.
