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 democrat, 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.

After a thorough preliminary education in the schools of his native city, he began the study of medicine under the tuition of Dr. James Postlethwaite, and was graduated from the Medical Department of the University of Pennsylvania, 1823. He began the practice of his profession in Middletown, and in the autumn of 1824 returned to Philadelphia to spend another year at the University. Locating then in Blairsville, he practiced until 1828, meeting with a large degree of success, and then located in Greensburg, remaining in active practice until his death. The honorary degree of Doctor of Medicine was conferred upon him in 1850 by the Pennsylvania University.
