Upon arrival prior to living in Wilkes-Barre, he lived in Lackawanna County, in Olyphant, and worked in the coal mines, the name of which is not known at this time. He was employed in the Olyphant area coal mines from 1864-1865. After his marriage he bought land from his in-laws, the Stones, and built a home, a double block, on Stanton Street, in Wilkes-Barre. From 1865-1901 he worked as a laborer at the Stanton Colliery on Empire Street, Wilkes-Barre, which was owned by the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal Company. Patrick retired in 1901. He and Mary Brown were members of St. Mary's of the Immaculate Conception Church, Washington Street, Wilkes-Barre. In the church there was an organization named Emerald Beneficial Association, and Patrick was one of many of the members that volunteered to help his church community. The Emerald Beneficial Association had many purposes. They helped many widows financially after their husbands were killed in the mines. Another benefit added to this membership in 1885 was a death benefit, paid to the heirs of deceased miners in the amount of $300.00. The Association also established classes for the newly arriving Irish immigrants of their parish. These classes were held in a bank in downtown Wilkes-Barre, and Patrick was one of the members involved in teaching these new arriving Irish immigrant members of the congregation, he majority of whom were coal miners. Patrick knew both Gaelic and English, and he taught the Gaelic-speaking Irish how to speak English, as well as to read and write. Patrick's method of teaching was to read the local newspaper to his class in Gaelic and then English. Sons Michael A. Brown and Martin F. Brown have memorials posted at this website.
