Norman Philip was born April 2, 1927 in Union Township, a son of the late Orlo and Carrie (Matteson) Brown. He joined the United States Army on July 2, 1945 where he was part of the Army Infantry Company A until his honorable discharge in January of 1947. He worked most of his life as a chicken processor at a local factory and picking apples. Norman was a man of faith in the lord and was a member of the Canton Seventh-Day Adventist Church.

Norman could often be found picking apples or riding his bike, often long distance, in his younger years.
