Frederick William Brower Sr (26 Jul 1862-8 Jan 1932) 6. Lillie May Brower (29 Jul 1868-22 Mar 1891) Julia and her husband, William, began their married life in New Bremen, Lewis County, New York. In 1850, Julia, age 22, was living with her husband, William H. Brower, a 25 year old farmer, and two children: Madison, age 3 and Elizabeth, age 1. Their neighbors were her parents Bornt and Nancy Nellis, and her brother Levi Nellis and wife, Polly. In 1855, Julia and her husband, William H. Brower, were part of the great migration westward, farming the land and raising a family of six children. They first lived in Brothertown, Wisconsin; then Walworth, Wisconsin; then Illinois; and finally settled in Cambridge, Story County, Iowa around 1871. They suffered all the trials and tribulations of pioneers living on the frontier in the 1860s and '70s — Indian raids, wildfires, and the deaths of their young children from disease and war. Julia's oldest child, Madison H. Brower died while in service at the end of the Civil War. He was only 17 years of age. Julia applied for a mother's pension on 28 Aug 1879. Both she and her husband were invalids and their surviving children were under the age of 16. Her pension was approved on 22 Aug 1890 for $12 a month. The files for this pension claim contain her son's final letter home. He lay dead of typhoid fever ten days later. [Pension claim 250456; cert. 293102] Julia passed away on 15 Jan 1916 at Cambridge, Iowa, aged 89 years, 2 months and four days. The cause of death was complications from influenza. Interment was in Cambridge Cemetery. Her niece, Mrs. Caroline Clawson, of Cambridge, Iowa, was the informant. Julia and her husband lost five children to disease long before their own deaths in 1903 and 1916. A monument to their children’s memory stands by their side in the Cambridge Cemetery.
