VILLAGE OF BROWNVILLE.A1 Brown had teen a miller at Eureka (later Weal Mitchell). While lie was at the lafler place 1 heard someone ask Oiville Rotbins how he I'ame out with the grist lie took to Eureka. They stole the grist and chased rnc up the hill after Lhe sacks/’ was the reply, I afterward knew Brown pretty well for some years, but 1 never quite believed all of what Robbins said. Brown to tiis other accomplishments added that of fiddling- and singing. Ifc taught singing school 10 the boys and girls, in consideration of the work of the boys in shoveling and hauling and scraping stone and earth for his dam, that dam which is there now. Most of the young people of tlie neighborhood at that time acquired thci: musical education practically there and in thaL way. 13rown also had two boys, Charles, who played the clarinet, and Joel, who played the flute. They played for all the dances through eastern Mitchell CounLy and sometimes elsewhere, and largely with such earnings and such industry the mill was built and the village founded.
