• Notes

  THE BROWN GENEALOGY, Vol. II, 1915, by Cyrus Henry Brown, page 246. Mr. Brown was a farmer and a cooper. Mrs. Brown was bereft of thelove and help of a very kind husband, but reared to noble manhood andwomanhood her large family. Another affiction soon followed, when deathclaimed her beloved son Almon. She was a very quiet, unassuming character, loved best by those whoknew her most intimately. When her son's wife, Philura, was dying, sheplaced her young babe in its grandmother's arms, saying, "I giveHenrietta to you." Thus she proved a noble mother to her also. A womanoften sought in time of sickness, she filled her mission in life full ofkind deeds. Her attitude in regard to temperance is best illustrated bythe following instance. She was riding along one day with her son StephenTaylor, when they saw a man lying intoxicated by the roadside. She turnedto her son, saying, "I had rather bury a son of mine than see him in thatcondition; it would be far easier for me." Her sons were very temperate,not even having the habit of sweet-cider drinking, and only one, theeldest, used tobacco. But one son, Stephen Taylor, survives her. Thoughpast his eighty-seventh birthday his mind is clear and alert; and thoughhe is rather feeble physically, to him, mostly, is due the credit of thehistory penned of Deacon Daniel Main and wife. Nothing thus written hasbeen fancied on the part of the writer, but facts as related by him.
