General Notes: Husband - Charles Myron Brown


He was reared and spent his entire life in his native town, Harrisville, PA. There he engaged in his father's trade of cabinet making until 1877, when he devoted his time to farming for some years. He owned a fine farm of 110 acres in Mercer Township. In 1862 he enlisted in Company F, One Hundred Thirty-fourth Pennsylvania Vol­unteer Infantry, under Capt. Breckenridge, and later, in 1864, re-enlisted in Ar­tillery No. 212 and served until the close of the war. He participated in many bat­tles and skirmishes, including Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, but escaped in­jury. He was a member of the G. A. R. He was a Republican in politics and during President McKinley's administration was appointed postmaster of Harrisville and served in that capacity for more than ten years starting in 1899. He and his family were members of the United Presbyterian Church of Harrisville.
