ALBERT H. BROWN IS DEAD
Oregon Pioneer Was Prominent in Early State Politics
Albert H. Brown, one of the most prominent Democratic politicians in Oregon in the ‘70s, and State Treasurer during the administration of ex-Governor Grover, died yesterday at his home, 344 East Sixteenth street, aged 88 years. Mr. Brown was born in Baton Rouge, La., January 5, 1823. He served during the Mexican War as a volunteer from his native state. At the close of the war he crossed the plains to California, arriving there in 1849. He engaged in mule teaming between San Francisco and Portland until 1863, when he settled at Auburn, Or., in Baker County, at that time a thriving mining camp. He was elected to the State Senate from that county in 1872, and in 1874 was elected State Treasurer, serving until 1878. In that year he retired from politics and returned to his farm in Baker County, where he remained until 1897, when he came to Portland. He was known throughout the state during the years between 1865 and 1885 as one of the ablest men in the Democratic party. He was one of the oldest Masons on the Pacific Coast, having joined the order in Yreka, Cal., in 1856. He later served as grand master of the lodge in Baker. Mr. Brown is survived by his wife, two daughters and a son, as follows: Mrs. Frances E. B. White, wife of Samuel White; Miss Ella Brown and Asa L. Brown, of Baker County. The funeral service will be held tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock from the family residence, and at 10:30 in Trinity Episcopal Church, when Rev. A. A. Morrison will read the ceremony. The body will be cremated.
