Evangelist John Brown married Juanita Arrington in Salisaw, Oklahoma. He had met Arrington at one of his revivals in Salisaw when she served as a last-minute fill-in piano player for an evening meeting. Brown later settled in Siloam Springs (Benton County), where he established the Southwestern Collegiate Institute (now John Brown University).
