Biographical / Historical

The following is based on the most likely information on Louise Brewster. There are multiple Brewster lines in Rochester N.Y. and in Connecticut which makes narrowing down information pertaining to Louise Brewster very difficult. Anna Louise Ives Brewster was born in April 1836 in New Hartford N.Y. She married Henry Brewster in Rochester N.Y. who was a known grocer with his brothers in Rochester. Henry died suddenly in February 1877, and Louise would follow in 1924.
