I would love to have some information on O. V. Brown. As I recall he
taught math at the Dale High School. My father said he was his
teacher. My father was born in Dale in 1909 so he would have been in
high school from about 1923-1927. In the early 1950s we were
visiting Dale and my father took me to see O. V. As I remember he
had a huge collection of Lincoln materials. He had reproduced the
front cover of Leslie's Illustrated Journal published shortly after
Lincoln had been elected president. He gave me a copy which I stored
in my parents home until I was over thirty years old. Then I found
it one day and framed it and it now hangs proudly in my den.

O. V. was a fascinating person as I remember -- full of mystery. I
wonder what happened to his Lincoln collection.
