Dr. Robert Curtis Brown, a Milwaukee physician specializing in internal medicine, was born October 26, 1866, in the city which is still his home. His father was also a physician who practiced in Milwaukee for thirty years prior to his death. He ranked very high in professional circles, enjoying the respect and esteem of his colleagues and contemporaries, and his labors were of acknowledged benefit to the general public.

Dr. Brown was educated in the public schools of Milwaukee, passing through consecutive grades to the high school, while later he studied in the University of Wisconsin and won his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1889. He next entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York city and gained the M. D. degree in 1892. Returning to Milwaukee, he at once entered upon general practice and continued active therein until 1909, when he went abroad for postgraduate work in Vienna, returning to his native country in 1910. He was formerly on the staff of the Milwaukee County Hospital and is now a member of the staff of the Columbia, Emergency and Children's Hospitals. He belongs to the Milwaukee Medical Society, the Milwaukee County Medical Society, the Wisconsin State Medical Society, the Tri-State Medical Society and the American Medical Association.

Fifteen years ago Dr. Brown was married to Miss Katharine Dana Butler, a native of Milwaukee. He is a well-known figure in club circles, belonging to the University Club, the Milwaukee Country Club, the Town Club and the City Club, and he finds his recreation in golf. During the World war he served as chief of the medical staff at Base Hospital, No. 22, in France, with the rank of lieutenant colonel. He is a Master Mason, exemplifying in his life the beneficent purpose and high principles of the craft. The interests and activities of his life have been broad and varied and yet the major part of his attention is given to his professional duties. He has ever been most conscientious in the performance of his work as a physician and constant study and broad experience have placed him in the front rank among the able medical practitioners of the Cream City.
