Brownson Orestes A. Jr., Dubuque, Iowa, to Henry F. Brownson, Detroit, Michigan, 1878 July 26

 Item
Identifier: CBRH III-3-a

Scope and Contents

Mary Brownson, Orestes' eldest daughter was married yesterday to A. B. Worthington, a music teacher, and Orestes has lost the school which has been under his charge for the last 14 years. He has at home Ned, 15 years old, Sally, 13, Annie 11, Louisa 9, Rosa 7 and Charley 3 years. Orestes owes $300 on the farm, which debt harrasses him. It would do no good to tell why another was preferred to him in his school in which he has uniformly done well. It was to gain votes for political office and he belongs to no ring or society. To serve the public well is not all that is required. If his land were paid for he should rejoice at the chance to live at home and earn his bread by the sweat of a farmer's brow. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.
