I know that locally, it is pronounced "BRA zil" Larry -----Original Message----- From: Patricia Weeks [mailto:pweeks@dslextreme.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2005 11:10 PM To: MOWASHIN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [MOWASHIN-L] Brazil Creek Since so much has been sent to find Cicero, I want to ask if anyone would know where Brazil Creek got it's name? Were there any Brazil/Brazel/Brassel/Braswell people early in that area?

My Skaggs ancestors, Sealy & James Skaggs, brought an adopted son with them from Indiana to this area in the late 1830's or early 1840's. His name was Henry Willis Brazeal & was probably pronounced Brazil. Don't know if he has anything to do with the name of the town & creek or not. I have a picture of what I think is the old Brazil Store. A cousin took me there years ago & we were allowed to go inside & look around. I took a picture of the building but never labled the picture. Awhile back I found the picture & I am pretty sure it is the Brazil Store but am hoping some else might be able to verify it. http://carrollscorner.net/OldBrazilStorePhotographed1980s.JPG ----- Original Message ----- From: Patricia Weeks To: MOWASHIN-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2005 11:10 PM Subject: [MOWASHIN-L] Brazil Creek Since so much has been sent to find Cicero, I want to ask if anyone would know where Brazil Creek got it's name?

Barbara, The only thing I can find is Cicero Creek located 4.6 miles south of N on W where the creek dumps into Brazil Creek. Cicero Creek appears to be about 2 miles long. N and W intersect near Anthonies Mill. The creek starts at about N38° 01.135' W91° 01.125' travels west to Brazil Creek at N38° 01.544' W91° 03.628'. Pat Greenlee

I have a card that shows the address as 540 Jeffco Blvd, Arnold, Mo. 314-853-8359 This is not an Arnold phone #, but they are owned by another antique mall on Big Bend. They are closed Monday's, open Tuesday - Sat 10-6 and on Sun 12-5 I saw 2 pictures on the wall, 2 different men and it looks as if they were painted. They were in Booth 3 on the wall, left side of building when you walk in. They appear to be around the size of 16 X 20 canvas. The lady there said they were around 30 X 26 1/2". On the bottom left of the paintings someone had written: "Lucy Wallen 06/12/1897" I looked at the Census and see there was a Lucy Wallen in Iron and Washington Co. If you get a chance, you might want to check it out. Thank you, Sharon (Hartzell) Smith ______________________________

Barbara, you can use the US Geological Survey National Mapping Information site to find a map of the area. Use this link http://geonames.usgs.gov to access the site. Use Cicero Creek as the feature name, Missouri as state, and Washington as county. It will give you several options of seeing maps of the site.
