John Scofield Brasee grew up in Lancaster, graduated valedictorian from Kenyon College, and returned to Lancaster where he studied law under his father, John Trafford Brasee. In 1854, he was admitted to the bar and went into partnership with his father. The same year he married Mary Anna Dickinson and had six children.
John S. was a Republican and member of St. John's Episcopal Church. He was an expert in railroad law, the first President of the Ohio & WV Railroad. He also served as the first secretary of the Fairfield County Fair. In 1876, he was one of three judges appointed to recodify the statutes of Ohio.
From 1870-1892, Judge Brasee's family lived in a large home on the SE corner of Columbus & Mulberry Sts., north of the First English Lutheran Church. On January 18, 1892, a broken natural gas line at that intersection caused a catastrophic explosion. Most of their three-story brick home collapsed. The Judge, his wife & four children miraculously survived.
The Judge practiced law for 50 years and he & his wife celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniv. in December, 1904. He died at his home at 139 W. Fifth Ave. on February 23, 1905.
