"Dr. William Brownell came to Utica to practice medicine in 1852. He was a typical country practitioner of the period - robust of body, with a rugged exterior and somewhat taciturn. He was considered an honest, conscientious, charitable, patriotic citizen - a physician devoted to his calling. He graduated from the University of Michigan Medical School in 1852 and married Jane Scudder in 1856. They had three children: Lizzie, William Jr. and Kate. He served as postmaster at Utica from 1854-1856, served in the state legislature in 1856 and was re-elected to 1860. He took a great interest in educational matters and served 16 years on the school board, 10 years as president. He enlisted as surgeon of the Second Michigan Cavalry in 1861 and served three years. He built a brick home, which still stands on the northwest corner of Cass and Hahn." -Excerpt from the "Utica History Book" available for sale at the City Clerks Office.
