Arthur Brown (Utah)

"See Arthur Brown for others with the same name."

Arthur Brown (March 8 1843 - December 12 1906) was a United States Senator from Utah.

Born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, he attended the common schools and graduated from Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, in 1862. He pursued graduate work at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor and graduated from the law department of the University of Michigan in 1864. He was admitted to the bar and commenced practice in Kalamazoo.

In 1879, he moved to Salt Lake City, Utah Territory and upon the admission of Utah as a State into the Union was elected as a Republican to the U.S. Senate and served from January 22 1896 until March 3 1897. He was not a candidate for renomination and resumed the practice of law in Salt Lake City.

On December 8 1906, Brown was shot in Washington, D.C. by his longtime mistress, Anne Maddison Bradley, who claimed to be the mother of his children. Bradley found letters to Brown from Annie Adams Kiskadden (mother of actress Maude Adams), and assumed he was having a second affair. Brown died from his wounds four days later, aged 63, and was interred in Mount Olivet Cemetery, Salt Lake City.
