Hi Listers.. An index to the biographies in the History of Barron County, 1922, and others previously submitted are available at the following: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/barron/bios.htm George W. Brown was an early settler of Dallas Township, was active in its affairs, and had his share in its upbuilding. He was a good man, an upright citizen, and a good husband and father, and his death will long be mourned by family and friends, both in Dallas Township and in Barron City. He was born in Baraboo, Wis., Dec. 25, 1852, received his education in his native place, and farmed in that vicinity until 1874 when he came to Barron County and took a homestead of 160 acres in Dallas Township. The township was then practically a wilderness, the hardwood was still standing, no roads had been built except the "tote" roads, and neighbors were few and far between. He cleared 100 acres of the land, and erected some crude log buildings which were later replaced with modern frame structures. He made improvements from year to year and was a prosperous farmer until 1907 when after more than two decades of residence on the place he rented the farm and moved to Barron. Three years later he sold it. While in the township he served on the town and school boards and his judgment was highly regarded. In Barron City he did not enter into public affairs. He died March 29, 1911. Mr. Brown was married Feb. 24, 1874, to Sarah Peebles. This union has been blessed with four children: Fannie W. was born July 22, 1876, and died Sept. 1, 1877; Mabel was born March 8, 1878, and is now Mrs. H. H. Denison, of Barron City; Warren was born Sept. 14, 1879, and is now in Canada; Brier was born Dec. 21, 1891, and is now in Barron City. Sarah Peebles Brown was born in eastern Canada, Aug. 13, 1849, coming to Wisconsin at eight years of age. She came to Barron County with her husband in 1874, sharing with him the joys and hardships of pioneer life. She died Sept. 18, 1921. --Taken from: History of Barron Co., Wisconsin, H. C.
