General Notes: Husband - James Brimner


He was born on the home farm in Hanover township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, receiving a meager education in the rude log-cabin school-house erected in the heart of the mighty forest, and furnished with slab seats, paper windows and puncheon floor. Much of his boyhood was passed in farm duties.
After marriage he and his wife settled on the home farm.
Politically he was a Jacksonian Democrat, and he was a prominent, enterprising citizen. He served for years as a trustee of schools. He was a mem-ber of the Florence Presbyterian Church, giving that body a liberal support.
