General Notes: Husband - John W. Brandon

He grew to manhood under the parental roof and then acquired land of his own, in Con­noquenessing Township, Butler County, PA, where he engaged in farming. This farm became widely known for its richness in oil. In early life he was a Whig and later a Republican, but during his last years was affiliated with the Prohibition party and served as chairman of its county committee. He served one term as county commissioner and for many years was a justice of the peace. He was a leading member of the Mt. Nebo Presbyterian Church and one of its elders.
