General Notes: Husband - John Brownlee


He was born in in Chartiers township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, remaining on the home place during his boyhood. The family afterward re­moved to a farm two miles below Taylorstown, in Buffalo township, Washington County, where he remained until forty years of age. He then married and settled on a farm about two and a half miles south of West Middletown, in Hopewell township, Washington County.

He was a man of limited literary at­tainments, but possessed unusual intelligence and instinctive perception, combined with excellent judgment. He was of a retiring disposition, shrink­ing from publicity, but though reserved in common conversations, was fond of profiting by the wisdom of others, and among his friends became a genial, open-hearted man. He always attended church, and in the latter part of his life united with the United Presbyterian Society at West Middletown. Being always an upright, God-fearing man, his life was governed by the dictates of his conscience rather than Church tenets. He was a successful business man, and accumulated considerable prop­erty. In politics he was a Republican. In 1887 he left his farm, removing to West Middletown, where he died at an advanced age, never having required the services of a physi­cian.
