Grove Lawrence Brownell
"Was born in Canaan, Conn., 1 March 1790, the son of Edward and Susan (Wells) Brownell. He entered the Freshman class of the University in 1809 and graduated four years later. In 1816 he received the degree of Master of Arts from Yale College. In 1817 he was ordained to the ministry and installed as pastor of a church then recently formed in Woodbury, Conn. Here he remained for twenty-three years in the faithful discharge of his duties. In May 1840 he was settled over a church in Sharon, Conn. After a ministry here of about eight years he resigned his pastorate and engaged in teaching. This latter work he prosecuted until his death at Sharon 10 April 1855 at the age of 65. A sketch of him published at the time of his decease speaks of the consistency and self-reliant strength of his character, of his high estimate of the sacredness and responsibility of his calling, and of the unostentatious modesty and habitual serenity of his spirit.
His first wife was Harriet Burnham of Cornwall, Conn. His second, married 24 April 1832, was Mary Anna Whittlesey of Danbury, Conn., who with eight children was left to mourn his departure.
