General Notes: Husband - James P. Brownlee

---

He obtained his early education in the township schools and then entered Washington and Jefferson College, where he was graduated in the class of 1897. From there he went to Pittsburgh and became a student in the Pittsburgh Law School, but in his senior year suffered from an illness that made necessary the postponement of his law studies. After he recovered from a rather severe siege of fever, he completed his law reading in the office of Attorney R. W. Irwin, and was admitted to the bar in March, 1901. He then engaged in the practice of his profession at Washington. In the fall of 1907 he formed a partner­ship with C. E. Penn, under the style of Penn & Brown­lee, in gents' furnishing goods, an enterprise which proved successful, and continued until February 1, 1910, when Mr. Penn retired, Mr. Brownlee continuing the furnishing business at No. 129 South Main street. He was also a stockholder in the Dunn & Connellsville Coke Company. As a citizen he was unusually active, lending the weight of his influ­ence to promote public prosperity. He served as a member of the school board and from 1904 until 1906 administered the law as a justice of the peace. Mr. Brownlee was a member of the First United Presby­terian Church and officiated as the librarian of the Sun­day-school. He was identified fraternally with the Elks and the Heptasophs.
