Biography

Brougher was born on June 19, 1824, in Morgan County, Alabama.[1][2][3] He was the son of politician Frederick Brougher[4] and Mary Ann Brougher.[3][5][6] He graduated from Gettysburg College (then Pennsylvania College) in 1846,[3] then worked as an educator from 1846 to 1849.[3] He read law in Ripley, Mississippi and was admitted to the bar in 1852.[3]

Brougher was appointed to the office of Secretary of State of Mississippi on January[7] or April[8] 16, 1860, to fill in the vacancy left by the death of B. R. Webb, who died on January 16, six days after he was appointed.[7] Brougher was re-elected in October 1863.[8] His tenure in office ended when Union Army colonel Alexander Warner was appointed Secretary of State by the military, in June 1865.[7][8] After Warner's removal from the office in August 1865, Brougher was re-elected to the office in October of the same year.[8][9] He served until September 1869 and was succeeded by Henry Musgrove.[8]

Brougher married Marie Louisa Earle on May 23, 1857.[3] He died of an unknown disease on November 25, 1891, aged 67, at his home in Jackson, Mississippi.[1][10] He was the paternal grandfather of military officer William E. Brougher.[11]
