TOWN OF SPRINGVALESource: The History of Columbia County, Wisconsin, An Account of Its Settlement, Growth, Development and Resources (1880) transcribed by Mary Saggio.ABSALOM BROWN (deceased), died at his residence in Springvale, Columbia Co., Wis., March 23, 1880, 77 years old. He was born in Cecil Co., Md., Nov. 5, 1803, being the third son of Josiah and Margaret Brown; six years after this, his father and family crossed the Susquehanna River into Harford Co., Md., where he bought a large tract of land lying between Bellair and Abingdon, on the Baltimore road; his father sickened and died in a few days after he went there, leaving his mother and six children in a part of the country poisoned with slavery; care and hard work soon wore on his mother, and seven years after his father's death, his mother died; Absalom was then put to the hatter's trade, and, being misused, he left there and went to Brown Co., Ohio, where he had relatives, where he married, at 21 years of age, Miss Abby, daughter of Tobias Woods, of Allen Co., Ohio; she was born Aug. 27, 1810, in Brown Co., Ohio, and died June 6, 1874. They had five daughters and one son, as follows: Mary Ann (married Mr. Leatherman), on Sec. 31; Josiah, born Oct. 7, 1828, and died in California thirteen years ago (married there and lost his wife and had no children); Maria M., born July 5, 1832 (married Seth Allen, of Wyocena); Adaline M., born Aug. 28, 1837 (widow, with one son, Howard Stokes), and now on the farm; Martha Jane, born Oct. 4, 1840 (now Mrs. Wm. Stokes); Elvira (unmarried), on farm with her sister, who is also sister-in-law. Mr. Brown bought a farm in Brown Co., Ohio, and lived there a few years; being an adventurous spirit, he sold his farm and moved to Allen Co., Ohio, in a very early day, where he helped lay out a town, built the first house on it, and called its name "Lima" it is the city of Lima, Ohio, now; then, thinking he would like to see more of the Far West, he and his family, in the year 1847, came by land with team to Wisconsin, where he again bought a new farm. His son went to California and died there. Mr. Brown was a good husband, a beloved father and a kind neighbor; always benevolent, he was ever ready to help the poor; always cheerful and happy, he had a good word for everybody, and he died a sincere Christian. His family reside on the farm, on Sec. 30; P. O. Rio.
