From the book: "Fullerton's First 100 Years" pg 140
Arlineus, the patriarch of the Browers that were to live in Nance county, traveled with his son, Martin Irenius, in 1880 from Pontiac, Illinois to view and purchase 28 quarters of the Pawnee lands offered for sale by the federal government. Arlineus and his wife Mary moved permanently to Fullerton to make their home in 1884, following by two years the move of son Martin and daughter Annie and her husband Joseph Wright McClelland. At the age of 73 Arlineus started a real estate business, buying, improving and selling farm land. He died in 1895 at the age of 84 from injuries sustained from a fall from a horse he was breaking. Mary died in 1892.
Arlineus, son of Abram Brower and Phylothia Webster, was born in Herkimer County, New York, 1811. He moved at age 20, in 1831 to Ashtabula county, Ohio where he owned land and a number of businesses. He married Sally Turner in 1835 with children Imogene, Sylvester, Sarah and Abel K. and, upon her death, married in 1845 Mary Marther (b 1826) with children Martin and Annie. The latter three children lived in Nance county. In 1862 following a fire that burned all his businesses to the ground, Arlineus moved his family to a farm near Pontiac, Illinois where he farmed until the winter of 1875. He then moved to town for nine years of retirement before starting business anew in Nebraska in 1884.

From an 1895 Nance County, Nebraska, newspaper clipping file, publication date unknown,excerpted by Linda Berney:

....Detailed listing of bequests in his will, which stated the following
comment:

"I have given a large portion of my property to the children of my last wife, for the reason that she came in my family when my first children were small and worked hard to help raise them, and when they left me, my whole estate would not exceed $ 1,000, and it was with the prudence and economy of my last wife that helped me to accumulate my present estate. I have given Martin I. Brower more
than the rest for his looking after my business and trades and investments, in helping accumulate said property."...
