Brower all moved and settled in MO as of 1827 onward. > Some were in Marion Co., MO then Schuyler Co., MO. > > I have been told that Lawyer Brower was a school teacher and opened a "common" school in Adair Co., MO about 1838-39. > He is said to have died 1842. I have no other info for him, I don't know if he married? or had kids? He did die young. > > I did a google search for him and the school, and I found a "normal" school in Kirksville, Mo. , a roster of 1911 which lists some Brower pupils. > Could this be the school that I am looking for? Does anyone recognise this name, or the school? > If he is the school founder, then perhaps there is some documentation on him. > Thank you for helping. > P.S. He had a nephew named for him, and the Nephew married Polly Morton, so this is NOT the man I am looking for. > Lillian Kathleen Martin >
