She was born June 14, 1814. Shortly after their marriage, Mr. Hoover purchased land in Miami County, Ind., to which they removed in 1839, arriving on the 1st day of December, after which they had to build a cabin to protect them from the winter storms. They were the parents of fourteen children, of whom the subject of this sketch was the youngest. He received the benefit of the common schools, and one or two terms only at a normal school.

Birth*Thomas Leon Brown was born on 28 May 1926 at Kokomo, Howard, Indiana.2 
Marriage*He married Wanda Mae Chalk, daughter of Albert Charles Chalk and Gladys Sarah Margaret Wagoner, on 23 November 1945 at Fulton, Indiana.3 
ObitThomas Leon's obituary was published in the Rochester Sentinel on 17 July 1946:

Thomas Leon BROWN, aged 20, was killed instantly at 5:30 o’clock this morning when his automobile was strck by an eastbound Erie express train. The tragedy took place three and one-half miles north of the Fred Moore farm on state road 14. The youth, driving a 1932 Chevrolet sedan, was going north when express train No. 12 approached from the west. It is reported that Brown evidently saw the train coming and swerved to the right on the crossing. He drove his car down the right-of-way for an estimated 25 feet with the tires straddling the rails before the engine crashed into his car. The impact of the onrushing train tossed Brown’s automobile 100 feet east of the crossing. He was killed instantly and the car, which was demolished, landed on its wheels on the right-of-way. Engineer George F. STELLER of Huntington, who was at the throttle of the locomotive, stated today that he didn’t see the automobile until just before the crash. He added that when he saw the car on the crossing tracks it was too late to pull the emergency brake. The engine was damaged to such an extent that a change of engines was necessary when No. 12 pulled into Huntington. The other crewmen of the train included D. M. DEERWESTER, fireman, and C. A. OTT, conductor. Both are Huntington residents. Fulton County Coroner Dean K. STINSON and Assistant Coroner Dale BERKEBILE recorded the death as accidental.
Thomas Brown, the youth who was killed, was a former attendant of the Standard Oil service station at the junction of U.S. highway 31 and state road 25, Rochester. He had been employed there for four months, resigning three weeks ago to operate a dairy route. He resided with his wife at her father’s farm on Macy route one, two and one-half miles south of the Mt. Zion community. The youth was born in Kokomo May 28, 1926, and had lived near Rochester for the past three years. He was reared in Miami county. On Nov. 23, 1945, he was united in marriage to Wanda Mae CHALK. His parents were Avert and Grace BROWN. His father died in March. Survivors include his wife and mother; six brothers, George [BROWN], Joseph [BROWN], Kenneth [BROWN], Ira [BROWN], John [BROWN] and Max [BROWN]; and two sisters, Dorothy Ann [BROWN] and Grace Marie [BROWN]. All of the survivors except George reside at the home of their mother in Newcastle township. Funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the Brown residence, seven miles northeast of Rochester. The body will be taken from the Foster funeral home to the residence Thursday morning.2 
Death*He died on 17 July 1946 at Fulton, Indiana, at age 20; in a collision with a train.2
