George "Buster" H. Brown (1888-1973) was born to Jane (nee Doyle) and Charles H. Brown in the Town of Warren, Wisconsin (St. Croix County) in June of 1888. He had one older brother, Charles Edward Brown (1885-1960). George's mother died in 1905 and George appears to have lived with his uncle, George D. Brown in Hudson for a short time around the time of her death.
By 1910, Brown was working as a clerk at the railroad office in Hudson, while living with his father. The 1940 census lists Brown's work as farmer, living in the Town of Richmond (St. Croix County), WI with his wife, Grace, and three children, Bernice, Edmund, and Elaine.
