BROWN, NATHAN, b. June 22, 1807; d. Jan. 1, 1886; m. (1)May 6, 1830, Eliza Whitney Ballard [d. 1871]; (2) July 24, 1872, Charlotte A. (Worth), widow of William Marlett. His parents removed from New Ipswich to Whitingham, Vt., in his early infancy, and his boyhood was passed in that town. He entered Williams College at the age of sixteen, and graduated as valedictorian in 1827. The following five years were passed in teaching, editorial work, and preparation for the Baptist ministry, to which he was ordained in 1832; he sailed as a missionary to Burmah in the same year. In 1835 he was appointed to a new mission in Assam, where he gave twenty years of eminently successful and honored labor. He returned to America in 1855, and for fifteen years was editor of the American Baptist, but in 1872 he responded to the call of Japan and gave the last thirteen years of his life to missionary service there, bearing the same stamp of earnest activity and consecrated scholarship.
