Harry Herbert Brown
"Harry Herbert Brown, son of Hugh Clark and Mary Almyra (Goff)
Brown, was born at Fremont, Nebraska, July 15, 1882. His father, who
was born in Fairfield, Iowa, September 9, 1850, settled in Fremont,
in 1870. He engaged in farming and stock raising for many years, and
later engaged in the machinery business in Fremont. He is descended
from early settlers in America. Mary Almyra Goff was born in Augusta,
Oneida County, New York, October 19, 1849, and came to Nebraska in
1869, where she was one of the state's first school teachers. Her
death occurred in Lincoln, June 6, 1928.
Educated in the public and high schools of Fremont, Harry H. Brown
was graduated from the latter in 1900, and attended the University Of
Nebraska 1905 and 1906, during which time he was a member of the Glee
Club. On October 22, 1914, he was married to Edna Mae Woods, daughter
of James Edward and Artie (Trailer) Woods at Walnut, Iowa. Mrs. Brown
was born at Marne, Iowa, February 5, 1889, of American descent for
several generations. There are four children, Herbert E., born March
30, 1916; Dorothy L., born April 1, 1917; Evelyn M., born December 30,
1919, and Ralph W., born July 28, 1923.
A well driller since leaving school, Mr. Brown operated at Fremont
several years, moving to Knox County in 1913, where wells were from 600
to 1000 feet deep. In 1916 he removed to Lincoln, where he purchased
an interest in the Plattner Yale Manufacturing Company, manufacturers
of windmills and water supplies. In 1919 he came to Blair, where he
has since engaged in business. He now operates several machines in
Northeastern Nebraska.
Mr. Brown is a Republican and a member of the Congregational Church.
During the years 1928, '29, and '30, he was president of the Nebraska
Well Driller's Association, and assisted in organization of the asso-
ciation. He belongs to Washington Lodge No. 21, Ancient Free and
Accepted Masons, is associate patron of the Eastern Star, and is a
member of the Blair Chamber of Commerce, the Nebraskan Society and the
Blair School Board, of which he is now president. Residence: Blair."
Harry Brown had diabetes.
