A.J. Brownlee.
In the death of A.J. Brownlee, which occurred on January 11, 1921, the community of Hereford, Tex., mourns the passing of the oldest citizen, yet younger than many in the alertness of mind and keenness of interest in life. "Ninety-two years young" was the thought of him during the weeks in which life was gradually passing. Unique as a type of the stalwart strength stanch courage, and innate manhood of the pioneer manhood, he was a worthy representative.
A.J. Brownlee was born in Campbellsville, Ky., where he grew to manhood and was married. In 1853 he started to Texas with his wife and child by way of New Orleans. On the way cholera broke out on the boat, and his child was a victim. Locating in Mount Pleasant, Tex., he operated a tanyard there, and during the War between the States supplied leather for the shoes of Confederate soldiers. His wife died near the close of the war, and he returned to Kentucky with his childredn and was at Campbellsville until 1874, when he again went to Texas and made his home at Granbury, where he married Mrs. Sallie J. O'Brien. In 1884 they removed to Oklahoma, returning to Texas in 1913 and locating at Hereford. Besides his wife, he is survived by five children, four stepchildren, thirty-two grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren.
When quite a young man Mr. Brownlee became a Mason, and throughout his life was a stanch supporter of its interests. In a visit to the Grand Lodge at Dallas in 1909 he was honored as the oldest Mason in Texas and presented with a Masonic emblem. The last rites of his burial were conducted with full Masonic honors.
