BOOK - HISTORY OF GOODHUE COUNTY, MN. PUBLISHED IN 1909

Charles Brown, now engaged in the coal, wood, coke and general transfer business, was born in Red Wing, July 12, 1868, son of Robert and Martha (McGarvey) Brown, natives of Ireland, who came to America at the ages of two and nine years, respectively. They spent their childhood in Canada and landed in Red Wing in 1856. The father at once purchased a farm in the township of Featherstone and continued farming until his death. For some time he was with Hamline University and also kept a boarding hall for the students of that institution. Robert Brown died in November, 1904, and his widow, who still owns the old homestead, now resides in Seattle, Wash., with her daughter, having reached the ripe old age of seventy-two years.

Charles received his education in the public schools and finished at the Red Wing Seminary. Upon completing his studies, he started life for himself as a clerk in the grocery store of Peter Kempe, at Red Wing. After three years he engaged in his present business in 1893, in which line he has since successfully continued. Mr. Brown was married December 26, 1894, to Lena M. Towle, of Red Wing, daughter of D. H. Towle, a farmer of Featherstone township in this county. Mrs. Brown's mother is now deceased and her father, who has remarried, is now living a retired life in Minneapolis, having sold his farm in Featherstone. To Mr. and Mrs. Brown have been born six children: Marian, born in 1895; Florence I., born January 13, 1897; Charles D., born January 24, 1898; Robert D., born August 21, 1901; Kenneth, born April 15, 1903, and Edward, born in September, 1908.

Mr. Brown is a Republican in politics and belongs to the Methodist Episcopal church. He affiliates with the Masons, the United Workmen and the Modern Woodmen. He has never sought public office. It is a matter worthy of somewhat extended note that Mr. Brown was chairman of the parade committee for the now famous celebration held in Red Wing, July 3, 4 and 5, 1909. With that energy that has characterized all his efforts, Mr. Brown set at work making the plans, and not only persuaded the leading business interests of Red Wing to participate in the parade, but also made a notable showing from his own stables. Seldom in any city in Minnesota has there been seen so fine a display of horses and vehicles as Mr. Brown had in the parade that day. Mr. Brown takes a personal as well as a business interest in his horses, being a lover of high-grade animals, and his stables contain some fine specimens of horse flesh.
