General Notes: Husband - Henry James Brown

---

He made his home on the family farm and attended the common schools of the neighborhood. At the age of seventeen years, he engaged in work in the oil fields, principally drill­ing wells, and continued until the Civil War was in progress. In 1862, he enlisted for nine months as a member of Company F, One Hundred and Thirty-fourth Regi­ment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, under Captain Breckenridge, and with his com­pany participated in the following hotly contested engagements: Fredericksburg, South Mountain, Antietam, Chancellorsville, Shepherdstown and Second Battle of Bull Run. At the end of that service he re-enlisted as a member of the Sixth Heavy Artillery, and during this enlist­ment was mainly occupied in garrison duty. At the close of the war, he returned home and resumed work in the oil fields, which he continued off and on, with fair success, until 1892, when he turned his attention exclusively to farm­ing. In 1880, he obtained a patent to his land from the United States Government, for, although it had been in the family for two generations, it had never been deeded, so that he was the first to acquire a per­fected legal title to the land. In 1897, he erected a substantial and comfortable home, and from time to time made many desirable and important improve­ments.
