97. M. M. Brown

'The above is a picture of David Dare Brown I taken when he was somewhere around 30-40 years old as near as I can estimate. He started out by working on the Lehigh Canal helping build the locks and furnishing timbers for them and, then he built canal boats for several years coming down as far as Baltimore and going around thru the Erie Canal and then to New York City on the Hudson. During the winter he would build rafts of logs and put on top of them sawed rough lumber and take it down the Susquehanna River to either North Umberland, Pa., or Harrisburg, Pa., and some rafts went through to the Baltimore section. In 1880 he started continuous operations in the manufacture of lumber in Sullivan County, Pa.'
