People

Black and white photograph of Martha Brown, born in Pownal, VT on August 15th, 1820, married Uriel Brown on April 12th, 1840, and had seven children. Uriel was born on April 10th, 1815 and 'came to Peru' in 1840. Martha's father was 'David Bushnell, who lived to be ninety-nine years old.' Rev. George Reed Moody wrote that 'Although in her eighty-fourth year her mind is clear, and it is a pleasure to listen to the stories of her childhood days. Mrs. Brown joined the Methodist church in 1838. Her family were always supporters of the Gospel.' Her daughter-in-law, Lucy Taylor Brown, stands in the background of the photograph. Martha is featured in The South Worthington Parish by Rev. George Reed Moody (1905), in the chapter titled, 'People Over Seventy in Our Parish September 1, 1903,' page 97, plate XIII, #22
