Brower In East Coventry, on Friday evening at 5 o’clock, peacefully passed to her rest, Mary A. Brower, wife of Peter Brower, in the 74th year of her age. She had long been a sufferer from kidney troubles, which finally developed into diabetes, from which she suffered intensely, the disease taking such a from as to cause deafness, almost total blindness, and great emaciation. All her afflictions were borne with such patience and gentle submission that come only to those who are resting upon faith. She was the mother of ten children. Three died in early childhood; one son was killed at the battle of Balls Bluff; six are living- John H., of East Coventry; Thomas J., Philadelphia; Herman P., Whitford; Allan, Spring City; Hannah, wife of Ellwood Quay, Phoenixville, and Jennie, wife of Rev. A. W. Quimby, Bryn Mawr. At the age of fifteen she united with Brownback Church, where she labored zealously for many years, until failing health interfered. A loving and faithful wife, a gentle and affectionate mother, a firm and true friend, surely her death causes a void that cannot be filled. She will be buried in the cemetery adjoining the Church.
