General Notes: Husband - Thomas Brown


He came to America at the age of eight years with his mother, his father having died in Ireland. He learned the tin and coppersmith's trade, and during the Civil war made tin cans for the Union army. He was located between Sixth and Seventh streets [Pittsburgh?], where he conducted a business under his own name later, but at first was of the firm of Brown & Mills. After the war he manufactured all kinds of tin and copper goods, such as kettles, etc., and was highly successful at his trade, retiring from active labors at the age of about fifty years.
He was the second president of the City Deposit Bank of East Liberty, and held the position until death. He was a member of the Sixth United Presbyterian church, having united with that church in early childhood.

He was the father of five children who grew to maturity, four of whom still survived in 1908.
