Brown, George W., inventor of "Brown's Corn-Planter" and proprietor of the extensive corn-planter works loca- ted at Galesburg, was born in Saratoga county, N. Y., Oct. 29, 1815; he remained upon the farm where he was born until hc was 14 years old, when he learned thc
carpenter's trade, in which he worked many years. In July, 1836. he came to Illinois, locating near Galesburg, being one of the carliest settlers in this section. Previous to coming west Scpt. 1, 1835, he was married to Maria Terpening. They did not live in the lap of luxury, but were hard-working pioneers, and he earned a living by farming and working at his trade. Many houses through the county were erected by him. On his arrival in Warren county, he traded his tcam for a piece of land and went to farming; he had a log house to build for himself, and his neighbors needed his mechanical services. For a long time he went out to work at his trade, and his wife conducted the farm.
In 1848 Mr. B. conceived the idea of turning a cultivator into a corn-planter ; he saw the great need of a machine that would plant the grain which was so universally cultivated as corn was in Illinois. Nature had gifted him with faculties of genius of superior quality, and witlı untiring energy and persever- ance he labored on until he gave to the civilized world one of the most useful implements ever invented. As we speak of this great invention at great length in a sketch of "Brown's Corn-planter Fac- tory," we will not repeat here.
Mr. Brown has been no office-seeker, nor has he held many public official po- sitions, his large business commanding his attention. In 1876, however, he was elected Mayor of Galesburg and served the city well; he joined the Methodist Church in 1835, and ever since has lived a faithful, consistent and conscientious Christian life. He is eminently noted for his zcal and earnestness in religious works. No man in this part of the State gives more abundantly and from purer motives than he, To him the M. E. Church, Galesburg, is indebted for the the city of Galesburg for much of its bus- iness; he is the parent of three children, one son and two daughters ; James E., born April 12, 1837, is married and asso- ciated with his father in the corn-planter business; Elizabeth A., born March 21, 1839, is the wife of Mr. T. L. Perrin, a banker of Creston, Iowa, and Sarah J., born June 12, 1844, is the wife of W. S. Cowan, merchant in Galesburg. Mr. B. has not only blessed his race by giving the corn-planter, but also for his practi- cal philanthropy thousands bless his name. Hc has no great scholastic at- tainments but is endowed with those eminently superior faculties, rare prac- tical judgment and knowledge, and great native genius.

Bruner, Francis M., President of Abingdon College, is the son of Henry and Matilda (Claycomb) Bruner, of Ken- tucky : was born in Breckenridge county, Ky., Dec. 28, 1833. When about one year old his parents moved to Warren county, Ill., locating on a farm, where he attend- ed the country schools until 19 years old. The first school he attended was three miles or more from his home. His father attended the same school, carrying his son behind him on a horse. Presi- dent Bruncr gives his father credit for giving him the best part of his education in the persevering, industrious habits
which he cultivated in him under the arduous labors and trials of pioneer life. At the age of 19 he entered Knox Col- lege, where he spent 5 years, graduating in 1857 from the classical course. Not being content with this, he earned about $400 teaching, received more from his father, married and went to Germany, where he spent nearly two years in the Royal University at Halle on the Sarle in Prussia. Here he enjoyed the benefit of eminent lecturers; he became profi- cient in the German language. He vis- ited Berlin and studied the city, then went to Paris, where he spent five months acquiring the French language and hear- ing lectures on botany, physiology and anatomy, zoology, anthropology, etc., by eminent scholars. He then went to Lon- don and home, after three years absence. President B. has always had a love for farming, but from early youth his mind has turned to preaching; while following the plow he frequently became highly exalted of religious sentiments. He has loved the languages, and while in Europe combined the ancient and modern lan- guages with his Bible, thus ably fitting himself to both teach and preach. One reason for so much special preparation was to be correct in religious matters ; his study of the languages, although never tcaching them, has been a source of much strength in preaching. On re- turning from Europe he labored as an evangelist for about four years ; was then ordained Elder in the Christian church, Monmouth, 111., where he preached five years; resigned and became President of Oskaloosa College, Oskaloosa, Iowa, where he remained for six years; he then returned to Monmouth and preached, and July 24, 1877, accepted the Presi- dency of Abingdon College, where his labors have already been felt for good to the school and community. In 1863 he · was appointed Captain of Company A, 7th United States Colored Infantry, doing much service in the South: from ill- health, resigned. He was elected to the Legislature from Warren county in 1866; was married to Miss Esther Lane Apri. 1, 1858, a graduate of Knox College ; made a profession of faith in Christ at the age of 14, and united with the Christian church. Republican in politics. President . B. envies no man because of his success, nor tries to pull him down that he might get his place, for it has so happened that most of the positions he has filled have been such as others had abandoned or would not have.
