General Notes: Husband - William Brown


He was educated in the Greens­burg school and Jefferson college at Cannonsburg. His college attendance was during the palmy days of Jefferson, when it received a large number of students from the leading families of the South. In 1858 he assumed charge, as proprietor, of his father's drug store, and continued suc­cessfully in the drug business thereafter. He was a democrat, a member of the Presbyterian church and was superinten­dent of its Sabbath School for many years. In 1869 he erected a business build­ing on North Main street, near the court-house, in which he did a large wholesale and retail drug business.
