Brower History
Abram and Philotha (Webster) Brower were native residents of New York and Philothia of Connecticut was a relative of the famous Noah Webster. Abraham was a millwright and carpenter and most of his life was spent in farming. He had three sons that we know of: Arlineus, Irenus, Hammond Healey. Hammond was born in Fulton County, New York. When he was twelve, his father brought the family to Ashtabula County Ohio. Hammond had the privilege of an education superior to that of most farm lads in his time. he passed through the public school and attended college at Meadville, Pennsylvania. Hammond had learned the shoemakers trade while a lad and he worked at it during the years he was preparing for a legal career. He was admitted to the Bar in Ashtabula County where he practiced law quite successfully for a number of years.
Hammond married Maryette Crosby and to them wer born five children: William, who died an infant, Charles De Loss, Casendane, Stephen Adelaide Douglas, and Castarah. Charles was born in 1849 and when he was three they moved to Illinois and located on a farm north of Ottawa. Maryette, his mother, died here and is buried at Earlville, Illinois.
Hammon was married agin in LaSalle County, Illinois to Maraget Furrow in 1857. to them were born four children: Frank, George, Flora (died at age 2) and Alice. While living in Illinoins for several years during much of which time Hammond taught school, he resumed the practice of law. It is interesting that his second wife had been a pupil of his. Charles, and his siblings were pupils.
While practicing law a Pontiac, Illinois, he was appointed to fill a vacancy on the bench, and after that time wore the title of "Judge". his biographer wrote, "which accords so well with his judicial spirit and candid mind this has never been dropped by his friends." In Pontiac he was highly respected and was frequently a candidate on the Democratic ticket for county and legislative positions. He came within 42 votes of being elected prosecuting attorney in a county which cast over one thousand normal Republican majority. When he left Pontiac the members of the Bar presented him with a gold headed cane bearing the following inscription: "Presented to H.H. Brower by the Livingston County Bar, as a taken of professional esteem. Pontiac, Illinois., May 22, 1877".
Hammond moved to Nebraska and farmed in Fillmore County. Later he spent five years in Colorado and in 1896, moved to McCool Junction, Nebraska, although he still owned land in Fillmore and Custer Counties. Hammond joined the Masonic Lodge in Ohio in 1849. In the early 1900's he and his wife moved to Kansas to live with their daughter, Alice Shaul, and her family. They spent the remainder of their lives with them and died in ther home near Greenwich, Kansas. Judge Brower died on March 24, 1909. He was then in his 90th year. Mrs. Browere lived a few years longer. They are buried in Fairview Cemetery (formally Kechi Cemetery)where Charles and Fannie (Silivan) Brower are buried.
