General Notes: Husband - John W. Brown

---

He grew to manhood in his native village, obtained a good common school education, and also received instruction from private teachers. He learned the tanner's trade, which he followed until 1879, and was then appointed to a clerkship in the prothonotary's office, by Alexander Russell. He served under Mr. Russell and his successor, M. N. Greer, for several years, and in 1885 was elected a justice of the peace for Butler, which position he held until 1887. He was then elected to the office of prothonotary, and was re-elected in 1890, filling that position six years. Mr. Brown was also a jury commissioner in 1870 and a director of the public schools for six years. Politically, he was a Democrat, and one of the leading mem­bers of his party in Butler County. In August, 1864, he enlisted in Company H, Sixth Heavy Artillery, and served until discharged, because of sickness, May 22, 1865. He was a member of A. G. Reed Post, G. A. R., also of the I. O. O.
