Note: !INFO: per "The People of Iowa" Vol IV, by Edgar Rubey Harlan, 1931, pg 215: "Joseph Brown, M.D. A man of broad outlook, a deep and abiding love for his calling, and a warm and tender compassion for those in need of his services Dr. Joseph Brown, of Des Moines, is held in high regard by all with whom he is associated. He was born in England, August 11, 1886, a son of Samuel and Sarah (Sinson) Borwn, both of whom were natives of England. His death occurred in 1927, but she survives and is now a resident of Denver, Colorado. In 1896, they came to the United States, and located in Massachusetts. For years engaged in the shoe business, he was handling his retail shoe shop at the time of his demise. Of the nine children born to him and his wife eight are living, and Doctor Brown is the tghird in order of birth. The parents were members of the Jewish Synagogue, and he was a Republican." "Dorcor Brown attended Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, and later entered Baltimore, Maryland, Medical College, from which he was graduated in 1910, with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. he then interned in the General Hospital, Lawrence, Massachusetts. His years of preparation ended, he entered upon a general practice in his native state, and remained there for three years, then in 1914, came to Des Moines, and here he has found the environment that is congenial to a man of his capabilities. His practice is still a general one, although about every two years he takes post-graduate work on the different subjects then most interesting to him. Doctor Brown is on the staffs of the Lutheran Methodist and Mercy Hospitals, and his work in this connection brings him much approbation." " His life has at all timees been characterized by unfaltering adherence to those principles which aside from professional or social distinction to which he has attained, win for th individual the unqualified respect and trust of his fellow men, and this is admitted by his colleagues as well." " Doctor Brown was married to Miss Sarah Edith Law, born in Massachusetts, and educated in that state. She is a daughter of Abraham Law, a shoe manufacturer of Lawrence Massachusetts. Both Doctor and Mrs. Brown are members of the Jewish Synagogue. He is a thirty-second degree Mason, and he also belongs to the Mystic Shrine, and is a past master of Ancient Craft No. 647, of DeMoines, which he organized, and of which he was first master. The Polk County Medical Society, the Iowa State Medical Society, the American Medical Association and the Des Moines Academy of Medicine all hold his membership." (CONFLICT) lists wife's maiden name as Sinson??? That was the name of her adopeted brother, but her parents were Pearlman????)
