J S Brown Rise From Carpenter Son to Private Secretary
A hometown native, J S Brown, son of a carpenter, learned Latin from a Sunday school teacher and then shorthand. He wrote for Garfield, moved to Mentor, then earned 3200 dollars yearly, and acquired a sheep ranch in Ivanpoh Kansas. His rise mirrors a town crowded with Congress members and lingering families amid mild spring days and ex-President Hayes’s carriage still seen in the streets.
