Purple in Brookfield Junction. http://linkstothepast.com/waukesha/brookjunction.html This area is now Brookfield City, where the Railroad tracks cross Brookfield Road. This is from the 1880 History of Waukesha County, transcribed by Judy B. "C.H. Purple, now dead, opened the first store in town, at or near Brookfield, in 1852. He also kept the post office here, which was established after the coming of the railway." I checked the cemeteries on my site that I have complete (Oak Hill which is the closest, German Lutheran, & St. Dominics), none of these cemeteries show him as buried there. This doesn't mean he wasn't, it just means the tombstone was not found during the transcription. There is another cemetery, Pioneer, which I have yet to transcribe. It is on the corner of North Avenue and Pilgrim. There is also Trinity Lutheran Cemetery, on Calhoun just north of Capital. For more information on these cemeteries, see here: http://linkstothepast.com/waukesha/cemeteries.html#brookfield Hope that helps. I was considering starting to transcribe that cemetery Pioneer cemetery this weekend, weather permitting. For sure I will have it complete in the next few months. Ellen- www.linkstothepast.com
