J Graham Brown Loyal to His Alma Mater Continues in Death
J Graham Brown, a towering timber tycoon and philanthropist, left a lasting imprint on Hanover and Kentucky. He faced foreclosure, prevailed in court, built a vast timber empire, and funded hospitals, parks, and education. His gifts included the University of Louisville gym and a campus center, plus millions to the Louisville Zoo and Kentucky Baptist Hospital. He remained shy in public yet deeply loyal to his alma mater and the state. Kentucky Governor Louie B. Nunn called him a good and generous man.
