This book has no cover, and no index, and no author. I bought it on Ebay; it just has the insides, but it is full of Indiana biographies. I am not researching this family, just thought I would share. I do not know anymore about these families or these surnames. NOTE: I don’t know if there is any additional mention of this family in the book, it has no index. I do not want to sell this book. I am typing the biographies from it. Typed by Lora Radiches: Other surnames mentioned in the biography of KARL T. BROWN are: Brown, Trueblood, Pilkenton, Hackett, Duncan, White, KARL T. BROWN, Muncie physician and surgeon, a specialist in eye, ear, nose and throat cases, was a lieutenant colonel in the Medical Corps with the American expeditionary Forces, and is a man of very interesting accomplishments and experience. He is a native of Indiana, having been born at Westfield in Hamilton County, July 26, 1874. His parents were Robert R. and Mary (Trueblood) Brown. His grandfather, Samuel Brown, came from Virginia, was a farmer and stock raiser and owned a large body of land at what is now French Lick, Indiana. Robert R. Brown was born and reared in Salem, Indiana, attended public schools in Washington County, and spent his active life as a merchant.

Her father, Dr. Joshua Trueblood, came to Indiana from North Carolina and for many years did the work of a capable country doctor all over Washington County. Doctor Trueblood was well read in literature as well as in medicine, and in the course of a busy lifetime wrote a great deal of verse. Doctor Brown cherishes a book of verse written by this ancestor, describing a trip back to his old home in North Carolina. The ancestral records of the Trueblood family have been traced back for three hundred years. The great-grandfather of Doctor Trueblood was an Englishman who came to America and settled in the Carolinas. Robert R. Brown and wife had a family of eight children, three of whom died in infancy. Anna is Mrs. A. C. Pilkenton, of Frankfort, Indiana; Will A. was a merchant at Marion and died December 25, 1927; Dr. Paul D. is chief pharmacist at the Methodist Hospital at Indianapolis; Dr. Karl T.; and Bessie is the wife of William F.

He took his M. D. degree at the Barnes Medical College of St. Louis in 1899, and had training and experience as an interne in that city. For ten years Doctor Brown practiced at Crawfordsville, Indiana, and then removed to San. Antonio, Texas, where he was in practice when America entered the World war. In 1917 he was commissioned a first lieutenant in the Medical Corps, attended the Medical Officers Training School at Fort Riley, Kansas, for six months, was on duty at Camp Travis, Texas, until June 1918, and then went overseas. While in France he was promoted to captain and later to major, and finally to lieutenant colonel in command of the Three Hundred and Fifty-eighth Medical Detachment of the Ninetieth Division. He went with his division into Germany and was with the Army of Occupation at the base at Coblenz. He returned home and received his honorable discharge at Camp Taylor, Louisville, July 8, 1919. Doctor Brown since the war has been located at Muncie and has a reputation all over Eastern Indiana as a specialist in eye, ear, nose and throat cases. His offices are in the Johnson Building. Recently the war department sent Doctor Brown the copy of a citation dated in France, November 24, 1918, General Order No. 146 of the Ninetieth Division, reading in part as follows: “The division commander desires to record his appreciation of the services of all members of the division, and particularly those specifically cited below for their extraordinary work during the recent Meuse-Argonne offensive. Their courage, heroism and sacrifice exemplify the spirit of all rank during this operation. Major Karl T. Brown, Three Hundred and Fifty-eighth Infantry, showed distinguished gallantry under artillery bombardment, when a German 50 counter meter high explosive shell struck within six feet of his head and scattered fragments around him. His first action was to rush to his commanding officer to see if any harm had come to him.” The date of this event was September 29, 1918.
