Brown Graveyard
Creighton, Cass County, Missouri, USA
Three marked graves in a small brush patch near edge of a field were found in the 1960s. One was flat on ground. A farmer who
worked the field the first time didn't know they were there and ran over the flat stone with his tractor, destroying it. He moved the two remaining stones about 1/4 mile East and placed them in the fenced corner, right at the road.
Recollection is the third stone was Brown, husband of Harriet, but given date/ages is not recalled.
Location would have been in Wadesburg, which no longer exists.
The Wadesburg cemetery is a mile or so east of where the Brown family was buried. It is unlikely that Blacks could be interred in that cemetery in those days.
