    1. [BROWN] burial info in Polk Co, OR for Hank BROWN (1934) & Della SYRON (1911)
    2. Rob Thomas
    3. I've been unsuccessfully trying to find solid evidence for BURIAL information for my great-grandparents... Hank BROWN (born to James H BROWN & Nancy READ JAMES on March 9, 1864 in OR), was a lifetime logger. He died Dec 20, 1934 at the home of his daughter, Violet in Sheridan, Yamhill Co, OR. The Sheridan Sun newspaper (Dec 20, and 27, 1934) and his death certificate both indicated that he was buried in Falls City, OR, by Sheridan Undertaking, of Sheridan, OR. I have been unable to locate proof of his burial, or to find his stone. His wife, Della (Belle) SYRON BROWN, was born to Montgomery SYRON & Mary Elizabeth LYNCH on Jan 5, 1878 in Polk Co, OR had six children. She died May 22, 1911 in the now defunct logging town of Black Rock, Polk Co, OR. The Sheridan Sun (Thurs, Jan 28, 1915, p.8) and her death certificate indicated her death date. She was said to be buried in Falls City by Chapman (undertaker) of Dallas. I also have been unable to locate or verify her burial location. Help? Additional background info: There were 3 James H BROWNs living within Polk County in the 1860s. My James H BROWN is of Mercer County, KY and was b in 1826. He died March 11, 1898 in Yamhill County, OR. The children of James H BROWN & Nancy READ JAMES were: Elizabeth Ann (sp- Robert Luke BOOTH, mar Mar 11 1869) Emily (sp- Thomas A HELM, mar Feb 6, 1873) Thomas C William Henry (Hank) My James H BROWN is NOT related to the Hussey or Yocum families.
