General Notes: Husband - John D. Brown

---

He was reared in Union township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, attending what was known as the Sankey School until he was eighteen years of age. For the next two years he worked on a farm, and then for two years was employed in the saw-mill of Young Bros. For more than seventeen years he owned and operated through the summer season a threshing machine, with which he traveled over a large part of Lawrence County. In 1892 he began dealing very largely in agricultural and farm implements, handling some of the most reliable and standard makes, and was patronized very well by such agriculturists as came to New Castle for their supplies, because of his wide acquaintance. On Jan. 1, 1897, he opened a large storage house at 165 South Mill Street, and entered the draying and hauling business in addition to his agricultural implement business, and it proved to be a profitable enterprise.
Politically, he was a Republican, and served on the election board and the board of education.
