General Notes: Husband - John Brown

---

He learned the trade of blacksmithing and followed the buying of horses and sheep, driving them to Eastern markets. In 1854 he abandoned his trade for mercantile business and never returned to the anvil. Under the firm name of Brown & Rankin the partners conducted a general store for three years, and in 1857 removed from the village of Grapeville to the station of the same name, where Mr. Brown remained in active business pursuits until the time of his death. He was a member of the Reformed church, was twice commissioned by the Governor of the Commonwealth captain of the Adamsburg Blues, a volunteer military company, and served in this capacity for a period of fourteen years.
