GEORGE BROWN.  Energy and will have made a large share of the marked men
of the world's history, and without these qualities few have attained
distinction.  What is true in the wide field of universal history is none
the less true in the more limited range of a town or neighborhood.  A
determined and persistent will, when directed by intelligence, practical
sense and integrity of purpose, is sure to gain influence and power.  Few
within the compass of our annals have more of these traits than Mr. Brown.
He is an enterprising farmer, possessing an integrity that attracts
universal applause among his friends and neighbors.  But is is in religion
that the excellency of Mr. Brown's character appears pre-eminent.  His
piety is like the characteristics of his mind; deep, decided, firm and
humble.  Mr. Brown is the youngest son by the first marriage of the late
George I. Brown, of Nicholasville, Ky., and was born in Jessamine County
in 1819.  He was married to Miss Annie M. Hemphill in 1843.  She was a
daughter of Andrew Hemphill, a native of Ireland--a man who exerted a wide
degree of influence for good, and was greatly respected in the county of
Jessamine.  His mother was Mildred Tapp, a lady of patient energy and
of superior judgment, and was much beloved by all of her acquaintances.
His mother was Sallie Perry, daughter of Lewis Perry, who was born in
Orange County, Va., in 1755, and settled in Kentucky in 1786.  His father,
George I. Brown, settled in Nicholasville in 1811.  He was born in North
Carolina, December 11, 1784, and died March 14, 1856.  He was an honest
man in all the relations of life.  "Peace to his memory."
