BROOKS Hiram
The Agitator, Wellsboro, PA, April 16, 1889
Old Charleston Cemetery [Austin], Charleston Township, Tioga County
Death of Mr. Hiram Brooks
An Old Resident of Charleston died

BROOKS - Last Tuesday evening Mr. Hiram Brooks, a well-known citizen, died at his home on East avenue in this borough after many months of suffering from the enblemenishments of age. He was in his eighty-third year. Mr. Brooks was born in New Hampshire, November 22, 1806. He was about two and a half years old when his parents moved to this county and settles in that part of Delmar township which was afterward set off as Charleston township. He grew to manhood amid the hardships of pioneer life. On the 18th of November, 1830, he married Lucinda Culver and began the work of clearing up the farm now occupied by his son, Mr. George D. Brooks. The young couple were blessed with four children, three of whom are still living. Mrs. [Lucinda] Brooks died in 1846, and Mr. Brooks afterward married Miss Alta Willard, who survives him. To them two children were born, one of whom, Mr. Otis Brooks, survives. Mr. Brooks resided upon the farm which he reclaimed from the wilderness until about eight years ago, when he moved to this borough. He had accumulated a few hundred dollars with which to make himself comfortable in his declining years, but he lost it in the Tioga bank failure. Mr. Brooks was philosophical, however, under his misfortune. His social, genial nature and even temper won him many fast friends. He was a member of the Methodist Church for nearly fifty years. The funeral was held on Thursday afternoon, Rev. Mr. Chamberlayne conducting the service, and it was largely attended.
