J. E. "Ned" Brown, Kanorado
 

The Brethren assemblies that formed in eastern Colorado had their roots in brethren from central and western Kansas and indirectly from Iowa. In 1916 or 1917, J. E. (Ned) Brown moved from Long Island in north_central Kansas to the area of Kanorado, a small town on the Kansas_Colorado border (see Kansas). Soon after arriving, he started an assembly that became known as the Kanorado Gospel Hall. A good preacher, he held Gospel meetings at several different school houses in western Kansas and eastern Colorado.
Ned Brown hired two young men, David and John Horn, to help him on his farm and in preaching the Gospel. Their pattern was to work in the fields during the day and preach at night. The two were soon full_time Gospel workers. They were the principal carriers of the Gospel into western Kansas and eastern Colorado.
In 1919, David Horn married Cecile Brown, a daughter of Ned Brown, and moved to Longmont. John Horn moved to Imperial, Nebraska where he was instrumental in starting the Imperial Gospel Hall. Don and Harold McCormick farmed near Imperial and with their families joined that fellowship, along with the families of Floyd Miller, George Long, and Ken Hayward. Several of these came many years later to Colorado and joined the assemblies there.
Ned Brown took in another young man after the Horns left, John Walden. While living with the Browns, John helped with the farm work, but preaching God’s Word became most important to him. Shortly after John Walden and Nan DuBauge were married in 1931, they moved to Denver and then Colorado Springs. John Walden was one of the leading brothers among the assemblies in Colorado during his years of ministry.
Many of the traveling preachers who came to the Kanorado Gospel Hall and to other assemblies in the area for special meetings were from Kansas and included C.W. Ross, Don Charles, Jack Charles, Leonard Linsted, and Richard Burson. These brethren had a strong influence on the conduct and attitudes of these meetings in Colorado and western Kansas.
The Dust Bowl and the Great Depression of the 1930s induced many farming families to move off the farms to the towns and cities along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. There they affiliated with existing assemblies and had a considerable influence. The Nohr, Stevens, Turner, and Ted and Ed Anderson families were among those active at Kanorado who moved west and became active in new and existing assemblies along the Front Range.
