Brown (continued from page 1) never proposed to me.” “I think we had a wonderful marriage though,” and it be- came ‘even more so when she moved to Lehman from Wilkes- Barre in 1936. They rented a house from the Stull family only a few hundred yards from the center of town. “I have loved it here,” she said. “I wanted to live on a hill in the country, near a church, so I could hear the bells, and see lights at night.” The Browns added a garage, an upstairs bedroom, and a fieldstone fireplace to the house which they eventually bought. “I worked for the Lehman school when they started their school meals. I wanted to do better so I went to Cornell Uni- versity to take summer courses in nutrition and dietetics. I thought I could finish (graduate) but could not. I then went to work for Natona Mills as their food service manager. It was an especially good job and I re- member all the girls there.” Her husband was a butler to the F.M. Kirby family, managing their home at 202 South River Street in Wilkes-Barre (now Wilkes University’s Kirby Hall). “He started to work there when he was 18,” she said. “His uni- form was a tuxedo. He had tremendous respect for Mr. Kir- by and would be upset to know the old Kirby store had closed.” Louise and her husband were members of the Prince of Peace Episcopal Church, Dallas for 60 years. They drove to church in a Chrysler, Leroy Brown's favorite car. “Leroy didn't smoke or drink so he felt he deserved a good car,” said his daughter, “Tell everyone I'm still going in Lehman but not as strong.” Louise Brown Turned 99 last week Victoria. An originator of and contribu- tor to the church’s annual rum- mage sale, Louise Brown's craft talents are legendary, and in- clude needlepoint, rug making, embroidery and caning. She taught crafts at the Wilkes- Barre YMCA, Newberry Estate, and eventually along with Judy Dawe operated “The Coop,” a commune-style crafts room be- hind her house. Mrs. Brown also was known for her speeches on racial and political issues to area church groups, the Hoyt Library, and the Wilkes-Barre YMCA. Louise Brown's favorite presi- dent was Teddy Roosevelt, “be- cause he established so many national parks.” Pressed to specify her political party affilia- tion, she notes that when she moved to Lehman she was told she would be “annoyed” if she didn't register Republican but credits the party for not “beguil- ing anyone” into changing par- ties. “I was told when I came here never to say I was a Democrat. My husband served in WWI and my nephews in WWII, but I think they should have finished Saddam Hussein the first time around and now I hope they can at least wait until I'm dead to have this war.” POST PHOTO/CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK Louise Brown, who turned 99 last week, attended Sunday services at Prince of Peace Episcopal Church with her daughter, Victoria. ‘Cookie shops’ open ia .
