CHARLES E. BRABAZON.  One of the leading business men and best known citizens 
of the south and western part of Walworth county is Charles S. BRABAZON, 
member of the well known and popular firm of BRABAZON & Bro. Implement Company 
at Delavan.  He has succeeded in his chosen life work because he has been 
persistent and energetic and honorable in his dealings with the public, and he 
has therefore had the confidence and good will of all, which are indispensable 
factors if one succeeds in any line where the public has to be depended upon.
 
Mr. BRABAZON was born on November 15, 1871, in Sugar Creek township, this 
county.  He is the son of James and Sarah Catherine (DUNHAM) BRABAZON, the 
father a native of Canada where he spent his boyhood, coming to Sugar Creek 
township, Walworth Wisconsin, when a young man and here purchased a farm, 
which he developed and on which he continued to reside until 1897, when he 
sold out and went to Delavan where he engaged in the restaurant business, 
continuing in the same for a period of four years, then entered the mercantile 
business at Jacobsville and East Delavan, this county, continuing the same 
several years, then sold out and moved back to Delavan, where he now resides, 
having been retired from active life for some time.
 
Five children were born to Mr. and Mrs. James BRABAZON, namely: William H., of 
Delavan; Charles S., of this sketch; Edith and Nellie were the daughters; and 
Jesse, who is engaged in business with the subject, a member of the implement 
firm mentioned above.
 
Charles S. BRABAZON of this sketch received his education in the district 
schools, and he worked on the farm with his father until 1896, when he came to 
the town of Delavan and engaged in the restaurant business, then he went to 
Elkhorn where he remained about four years.  Returning to Delavan, he went 
into the implement business which he and his brother have continued to the 
present time, having built up a large and constantly growing trade with the 
surrounding country.  They handle an up-to-date and carefully selected line of 
implements, everything needed or used by the twentieth-century agriculturist, 
and they also handle automobiles, being agents for the Chicago-Stover 
Automobile Company, and they have had a good business in this line.
 
Mr. BRABAZON was married June 3, 1896, to Mildred G. STURTEVANT, of Walworth 
county.  To them has come one child, Lloyd, born September 10, 1900.
