General Notes: Husband - Manley Orr Brown


He was but six months old when his father died. The public schools of the district furnished his elementary education, after which he attended the Greenville High School, from which he was graduated with high honors in May, 1887. In 1887-88 he taught in the public schools of his native township, and at the same time prepared himself for entrance to college. He was graduated from the Allegheny College, Meadville, Pennsylvania, in 1891, the degree of Bachelor of Arts being conferred upon him, and in 1894 he received the degree of Master of Arts. From 1891 until 1894 he held the position of instructor of the Greek and Latin languages in Hall Institute, at Sharon, Pennsylvania, and during his spare time devoted himself to the study of law. This study was pursued in the office of James P. Colter, Esq., and Mr. Brown was admitted to the bar of Crawford County, Pennsylvania, February 25, 1895. He was admitted to the superior court in May, 1900, and to the supreme court of the state and United States court, in October, 1900. He resided in Meadville beginning in November, 1894, his residence being at No. 364 Walnut street. He held a number of more than usually responsible positions for so young a man, and was highly honored. In 1903 he was elected president of the Crawford County Bar Association, and served in that office for a period of two years. He was the solicitor of the Commonwealth Bank beginning at the organization of that institution. He was always an ardent supporter of Republican principles, and was in office as city solicitor for a number of years. His interest in religious matters was an active one, and he served in the office of deacon in the First Baptist Church. [GPHWP, 1323]
