J. Mc Andrew's "History of Hawley" from "James O;Connor's Letter ". " At number sixteen ten miles from Hawley, lived Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Brown, members of St. Philomena's congregation. They had an interesting family. Mr. Brown, was an engineer at sixteen plans, was a noted mechanic. His son Michael E. Brown, also engaged in mechanics and had the Pennsylvania Gravity engines doing fine. He is foreman of a machine shop in New York at present and makes his home in Brooklyn. Mary A., one of Mr. Brown's daughter's married the late Michael COUGHLIN, who lived in Hawley and was a runner on the Pioneer. Frank H.,one of Mr. and Mrs. COUGHLIN sons is the Vice President of the Pennsylvania Coal Company. The other son, William P., was a noted league ball player and for the past six years has been coach at Lafayette College, Easton. " PS William COUGHLIN William P. COUGHLIN was captain and third baseman of the famous Detroit Tigers during the first decade of the American League. In 1907, 1908 and 1909 the Tigers captured the championship in furious fighting finishes. On those teams were Ty Cobb, Sam Crawford, Donie Bush, Charley O'Leary, Claud Rossman, "Wild Bill" Donovan, George Mullin and Charley Schmidt. Hope we all can find some connections.
