General Notes: Husband - Dr. Samuel Potter Brown


He was a very prominent physician in his day; his field of practice extended over Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and into adjoining counties. He was a demo-crat, a ruling elder in the Presbyterian church of Greensburg, and was always recognized as a warm friend of the educational interests of his town, where he served for years as a trustee of the old Greensburg seminary. He and his wife had eight children, of whom five were dead before 1890.

He was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1823 with the degree of Doctor of Medicine and practiced in Middletown, Blairsville, and Greensburg, Pennsylvania, throughout his life.
