BROWN, William Faulkner, clergyman, born in New York City; died in New Jersey, 22 August, 1881. He was educated as a physician, and during the civil war served as surgeon on the United States steamer "Mystic," and afterward as examining surgeon at Park barracks, New York. He subsequently went to Rome as a newspaper correspondent, and reported the proceedings of the Vatican council for Catholic newspapers, having been converted to Catholicism in 1857. After his return from Rome he studied in a theological seminary, and took clerical orders in Louisville, Kentucky. He was assigned to a parish in Georgia, where he suffered so severely from the effects of yellow fever that he was obliged to remove to the north, and in 1880 accepted the place of chaplain to St. Joseph's hospital at Paterson.
