Early lifeRufus Everson Brown was born in Dickinson, New York on December 3, 1854. He attended academies in Lawrenceville and Amsterdam before relocating to Burlington, Vermont to study law. Legal careerBrown studied at the firm of Wales and Taft, which included Russell S. Taft, a prominent politician and judge. He attained admission to the bar in 1880, and operated a farm while beginning a law practice. In 1891 he opened an office in Burlington and began to practice law full-time. In 1897 he started Brown & Macomber in partnership with James H. Macomber. In 1903 he formed a new partnership with Russell W. Taft, the son of Russell S. Taft. Political careerA Republican, Brown served as Burlington's grand juror (city prosecutor) from 1892 to 1894. From 1894 to 1900 he served as state's attorney for Chittenden County.
