General Notes: Husband - William Brownfield

---

He remained at home until arriving at maturity, working with his father on the farm during the summer, and attending school during the win-ter season. At the age of twenty-one he went to Wisconsin, and worked in the Black river pineries for nine years, a portion of which time he was rafting on the Mississippi. In 1864 he returned home, then went to Oil City and engaged in drilling oil wells. In 1872 he again returned to Armstrong County, and in 1875 purchased his a farm and settled on it. It contained 120 acres, on which eight oil wells were located.
The family were members of St. Patrick's Catholic church, at Sugar Creek. In politics, he was a Democrat, and served as a member of the school board for three terms.
