| He received his sheepskin in medicine from Alabama Board of Medical Examiners in 1845. Dr. Brandon practiced medicine in Pickens County, Alabama, northeast of Gordo and his wife practiced with him. The Civil War left the community destitute and they gave their services for the good of the people and received a bucket of syrup, a few potatoes, a bag of corn or a few vegetables as pay in many instances. The Masonic Lodge at Reform gave them a small stipend in their old age. He was a Master Mason and Worshipful Master of Fellowship Lodge No. 172 of F. & A.M. of Alabama, Reform, Alabama. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
