11. LEONIDES HANNIBAL² BROWN (ISAAC HAIRE¹)¹⁶ was born August 27, 1852 in Garden Grove, Texas County, Missouri, and died September 09, 1896 in Blue Springs, Gage County, Nebraska.

She was born July 18, 1854 in Missouri, and died March 16, 1906.

Notes for LEONIDES HANNIBAL BROWN:
Leonidas Brown sold his land in Texas County, Missouri after 1880.

Blue Springs, Cage County, Nebraska was venerable, the town did not fared so well. It was established in 1858 to provide and capitalize upon a short cut on the Oregon Trail and although its settlers ploughed a marking furrow many miles across the prairie to lead the trail traffic over the new and shorter route, the traffic did not turn. Later the Burlington and Missouri railroad failed to enter Blue Springs, the new town of Wymore was established a mile to the south and became a division point and a flourishing city. Blue Springs lost its fight for the county seat. Why all these opportunities were denied Blue Springs is a mystery no one can fathom.

After the trail venture collapsed and the original founders forsook the village, there came to Blue Springs an influx of New England families, religious people who completed the founding of the town. While most other early day settlements proceeded with raucous disregard for law and higher ethics, Blue Springs banned liquor at the outset, outlawed crime, glorified righteous living and maintained culture. In its more than eighty years of existence, it has never experienced a murder and for many, many years it did not know felony.
