   DOCTOR WILLIAM B. BRODIE P.O. Pineville, was born July 6, 
1855, and is a son of Robert C. and Sarah B. (Bradford) 
Brodie, natives of Philadelphia, and of Scotch descent on 
the father's side, and Swedish on the mother's side.  Our 
subject's grandparents on his father's side were at one time 
residents of Warminster township.  His father has been 
engaged in the drug business for the past forty years at 
Twentieth and Callowhill streets.  Our subject attended both 
public and private schools until he had reached the age of 
seventeen, when he entered his father's drug store as an 
apprentice, and served seven years.  He then began the study 
of medicine in the University of Pennsylvania, from which he 
graduated in the spring of 1879.  He remained one year in 
Philadelphia in practice.  In May, 1880, he came to 
Pineville, where he has since been located, and has built up 
a good practice.  He was married July 30, 1879, to Emma C., 
daughter of C. B. and Christine (Berg) Krause.  She has 
borne him three children:  Emma K., Carl B. and Christine S. 
Dr. Brodie is a member of the Masonic lodge at Newtown,
