The son of John & Eleanor Ann (Gregory) Brougher, in 1860 he was a laborer living in Upper Allen Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, but is in the 1863-65 draft registration twice, once in Dillsburg, York County, and again in nearby Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County. He later worked as a horse dealer and stood 5' 11" tall with dark hair and light eyes. He married Rebecca W. Line and fathered Ella (b. @1856), Jennie M. (b. @1858), Sumner M. (b. @1862), Oliver (b. @1865), Robert R. (b. @1867), and Monter S. (b. 08/15/71). According to the Harrisburg Patriot of March 10, 1858, he attempted to annul his marriage, but the church denied his petition, and negative feelings toward his marriage did not prevent him from fathering four more children.
A Civil War veteran, he enlisted at the stated age of twenty-five in Harrisburg August 9, 1862, mustered into federal service that day as a private with Co. F, 130th Pennsylvania Infantry, and hospitalized for rheumatism at Campbell U.S. Hospital, Washington DC, December 13, 1862. Although he did not return to active duty following hospitalization, he remained on the roll and honorably discharged with his company May 21, 1863. Several men in their pensions referred to him as "Sgt. Brougher," but he is listed in the company register and Bates' History of Pennsylvania Volunteers as a private, nor do his compiled military service records mention a promotion.
He moved to Illinois ca. 1875 and divorced Rebecca in Iroquois County in 1887. He then married divorcée Sarah Belle Clore, née Boyd, August 21, 1889, in Cook County. Sarah died in Avon, Illinois.
