A PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF DELAWARE AND RANDOLPH COUNTIES, IND.
A.W. Bowen & Co., 1894

        HANNAH McCREERY BROWN. -The well known lady whose name introduces
the present sketch is the widow of William Brown, who, during life, was one
of the largest land owners and most prominent men of Washington township,
Delaware county, Ind. She was born March 24, 1831, in Tuscarawas county,
Ohio, a daughter of Samuel McCreery, whose sketch appears elsewhere in this
volume. In 1851 she was united in marriage with James Marshall, who was
born in Harrison township and who engaged in farming there until the date
of his death. He left two children, both of whom are deceased, namely:
Rhoda Catherine, and Elizabeth. Some time later Mrs. Marshall married Mr.
William Myers, a native of Clinton county, Ohio, who came to the county of
Delaware when a young man. Again she was left a widow with three children,
Mary Ellen now the wife of Frank Johnson, Lavina Ann and Jacob Henry, the
last two of whom are deceased.
        Mrs. Myers is a woman of agreeable nature and of sociable
temperament, eminently fitted to make a pleasant home for a husband, and
March 20, 1867, she was married to William Brown. He was born in Ohio, and
had come to this county at an early day and located in Washington township,
where his father had previously entered a piece of land. After the death of
the latter, William bought the old home place. He was a man of prominence
and was successful in a financial way, owning, at the time of his lamented
demise, 520 acres of fine land, which is now managed by his widow. In
politics, Mr. Brown was a democrat, and was an important factor in the
deliberations of his party in local affairs. Both he and his wife were
valued members of the Methodist church. Beside his widow, he left the
following children: Sarah Catherine, the wife of Otis Broyles; Cora Eddie,
the wife of Frank Hayden; and Rebecca Leona, the wife of William Shipley.
