Harvey Brown, among Littleton’s oldest residents, died early Sunday after about a week of illness following a stroke of paralysis. He was a longtime, trusted member of the community known for strict integrity in business and in his dealings. A separate anecdote recalls a Scotch horse dealer and a solicitor over a bill, where a promissory note was framed for payment on the day of judgment, and the judge affirmed the bill as valid, ordering payment the next day.
