AOH Division No. 2 officer, Butte (secretary 1904; financial secretary 1909). The Butte-Silver Bow Archives AOH papers (findings, not filed as sources) also have a J. M.

Not the bare 'James Brown' of the 1911 Silver Bow Club banquet list (50; not linked), not E. A. Brown of Hennessy's (person_e_a_brown_hennessy_manager).
