In 1920, the Browns were living in Union Township, Story, Iowa. Next door were sons, Bert and Earl, and son-in-law, Wade Durst. The Brown household included John and Nann, and their children still at home, George, Gwendolyn, and Clinton, and their granddaughters, Eva Mae, Mildred, and Helen Lucille, whom they raised following the death of their daughter, Susan, from the flu epidemic of 1918. John owned the home. John, Clinton, and George were farming the homestead.[2][3]
