The following are some obits for some of My ancestors that were Brethren. Mr. Jesse Brown was born Nov. 22, 1831; died May 13, 1902, after a lingering sickness from cancer of the stomach. Was therefore 70 years, 5 months, and 21 days old. The funeral occured at the Appanoose Dunkard Church on the afternoon of the 14th, Rev. Heckman conducting the services. (this obit was in the Pomona, Kansas Enterprise May 16, 1902). (From the Pomona Republican May 14, 1902) The funeral of Jesse Brown was held yesterday and the remains were intered in the Dunkard cemetery. Jesse Brown was born in North Carolina. His parents are unknown but from the 1880 Franklin County Kansas Census His Parents were both born in north Carolina also. He had 3 Sons and 2 daughters that I know of the first born in Indiana in 1857. The second born in Illinois in 1858. The other 3 born back in Indiana between 1860 and 1864. He is believed to have been married 3 times. 1st to Sylvia or Sylvinia Walker who died before 1860. The second wife was Delilia Kellogg. He came to Franklin County, Kansas by 1878 and the 1880 Census shows Him married to Sarah Jane. ----------------------------------------------------- Click here for Free Video!! http://www.gohip.com/free_video/ ==== BRETHREN Mailing List ==== 2 --------------------------------------------- This is the Brethren Genealogy and History Network we are sponsored by The Fellowship Of Brethren Genealogists You are invited to join the membership of FOBG For further information e-mail McAdams@udayton.edu ---------------------
