    Dr. Stanley Allen Emanuel Brallier, one of the leading physicians of Johnstown, is a representative of one of the very earliest families of Cambria County. He was born at Cherry Tree, Indiana County, Pa., April 11, 1869, and is the son of Emanuel and Lucy M. (Kinports) Brallier.
    Samuel Brallier, great grandfather of Stanley A. E. Brallier, is the first of the family of whom we have any definite record. He married Christianne Brumbaugh, and among his children was a son named Emanuel.
    Emanuel Brallier, son of Samuel and Christianne (Brumbaugh) Brallier, was born in what is now Blair County, Pa., Oct. 11, 1794. He was one of the hardy pioneers of Western Pennsylvania, and spent his early life in tramping from farm to farm, from county to county, carrying his kit of tools upon his back, his gun in his hand, and making shoes for the farmers as he made his way through what was often a wilderness. By dint of industry and frugality he amassed a comfortable competence, and in 1839 he purchased a tract of land in the wilderness, at Black Lick Township, Cambria County. He cleared away the growth of timber with his own hands, and within a reasonable length of time had 175 acres of land under cultivation.
    He married Mary Leidy, the daughter of Samuel Leidy, who had been a soldier in the Revolution and was of Dutch descent. The children of Emanuel and Mary (Leidy) Brallier were: 1. Rev.
