CHARLES and MATTIE lived in Sumner Co. Portland, TN. They are both buried in Maple Hill Cemetery in Portland. MARILLA A. BROWN is buried in the Mitchelville General Baptist Church Cemetery. d. 1945 JAMES ELLSWORTH BROWN, his daughter ELLA MAY BROWN and his brother HOLLY EVERETT BROWN all died within a day of each other during the 1918 influenza epidemic. The 3 of them and EDWARD D. BROWN are buried in Auburn, KY. Perhaps Auburn Cemetery. I have not been able to confirm this, nor do I know if they have headstones on their graves. (I live in Colorado). So if someone has access to some kind of cemetery records maybe you could do a lookup for me in Auburn, KY. Also, would like to know if Edward D. Brown had any siblings: Maiden name of Elizabeth, and the parents of Marilla A. Thompson Brown. Have additional information if anyone out there is researching this family and would be happy to share and exchange. Thank you. I appreciate any info anyone can give me. Pauline [email protected]
