She was the daughter of Benjamin W. and Cynthia Stanton Baum. Her father was a pioneer oil producer in the Northwestern Pennslyvania and Southern New York fields.

Mrs. Brewster's husband, who died in 1917, was a member of one of Syracuse's oldest and best known families. For many years he was an officer and director of the old Beebe interurban trolley lines and a director of the Syracuse Northern line.
Her son, Neal Brewster, is a member of the Public Service Commission. She was a sister of the late L. Frank Baum, author of "The Wizard of Oz," and other children's stories, and of the late Dr. Henry C. Baum of Syracuse.
Mrs. Brewster was a member of Morning Musicals, Inc., Harmony Circle, Social Arts club and of St. Pauls Espicopal Church. Besides her sons, she is survived by two nieces, Mrs. Charles P. Morse and Mrs. Thomas M. Peirce, and a nephew, J. Ward Neal, all of this city.
