      DAWSON A. BROWN,
  
  [p. 927] residing on a fine farm of eighty acres in Pulaski Township,
  Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, is engaged in general farming and stock
  raising. He was born in Pulaski Township, April 1, 1863, and comes of an
  old family of that community. He is a son of James P. and Lorena W.
  (Corning) Brown, the former a native of Pulaski Township, and the latter
  of Trumbull County, Ohio. James Brown, the paternal grandfather, was
  born in this country but was of Scotch-Irish parentage; he saw service
  in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War.
  
  James P. Brown was reared in Pulaski Township, where his father had
  located in the early pioneer days, and he there engaged in farming
  throughout life. His death occurred October 23, 1902, and that of his
  wife on September 30, 1907, at an advanced age. Religiously, she was a
  member of the Christian Church of Pulaski. He was a Republican in
  politics. James P. and Lorena W. Brown became parents of the following
  children, of whom four are now living: Carson C., of Pulaski Township;
  Frank N., deceased, who was a successful lawyer of New Castle; Wells A.,
  of New Bedford; Dawson A., subject of this record; and James A., of
  Pulaski Township.
  
  Dawson A. Brown was reared to manhood in Pulaski Township, and received
  his intellectual training in the public schools of his home district. He
  has always followed farming in his native township, employing the most
  approved methods in his work, which combined with exceptional managerial
  ability has resulted in more than average success.
  
  December 12, 1892, Mr. Brown was joined in the holy bonds of wedlock
  with Miss Daisy D. Shields, a daughter of Thomas H. Shields of New
  Bedford, the family being an old and respected one in that locality.
  Politically, he is a stanch Republican, believing that in the supremacy
  of the principles of that party depends the success and prosperity of
  the country. Fraternally, he affiliates with Union Tent, No. 86,
  K.O.T.M., of Pulaski, and has filled various offices in that lodge. In
  religious attachment, he is a member of the Christian Church.
