Obituaries
Arthur R. Brown
Arthur R. Brown, 87, of Gilmanton died Tuesday, November 29th
following a period of declining health.
Mr. Brown was born in Concord May 29, 1924, the son of the late
Arthur W. and Edith (Curtis) Brown. He was educated in Concord
schools where he was captain of the 1941 football team and earned a
scholarship to continue playing at Syracuse University.
Arthur proudly served his country during WWII as a Navy Destroyer in
the South and Central Pacific Theatres. He was a combat veteran of 9
campaigns where he earned 9 major battle stars. He was a retired
member of the American Motorcycle Association and The New Hampshire,
New England and Eastern Collegiate Football Officials Associations,
as well as the National Ski Patrol and Professional Ski Patrol
Directors of NH.
He loved working at Weathervane Maples, his tree farm where he made
maple syrup, and the enjoyment of riding his tractor was second only
to that of riding his motorcycle.
Arthur is survived by his wife of 25 years, Annette "Nan" Brown;
daughters Sally Brown of North Hampton, MA and Sue Sommer and her
husband Jim of Concord, NH; step-son Dan Jones of Albany, NY; sister
Marjorie Greenan of Lebanon, NH; granddaughters Jennifer Clarke of
