From Brunswick: 100 Years of History
“Miss Mary,” the daughter of a slave, was Frederick County’s oldest citizen when she died in 1975 at age 106. Many of today’s older citizens well remember the pleasant Mary Pauline Brooks working for the Horine family. Until her final days, she kept house for herself and a son, attended church regularly, and did her own shopping. She was alert and had an excellent memory. Mrs. Brooks joined the Brunswick Senior Citizens Club when it was formed in 1967; she was 98 at the time.
