arm in Bloomfield township, where he resided till his death, Aug. 10, 1894.  He carried on general farming and stock raising with marked success.  He was a strong anti-slavery man and a Republican.  The father of the above, Ephraim Brown, with his uncle, Thomas Howe, came to the Western Reserve to purchase land for new homes in the summer of 1814.  After looking over several localities, they purchased the entire township of Bloomfield, of Peter C. Brooks, of Boston.  Later Mr. Howe leased his share of the purchase and Mr. Brown assumed the remainder of the debt, which, by good management, he was able to liquidate in a few years.  Here he resided till his death, Apr. 7, 1845.  Several of his children were born here, and some members of his family still live at the old homestead.  He several times represented his county in the Senate and House at Columbus.  In politics he was an ardent abolitionist and a Whig.
