NOTE:

Not mentioned in this obituary, is that he was the son of Patrick Brown and Mary Ann Stone, who predeceased him, as well as the following children: Mary Brown, Robert Brown, and Leo Brown, and three other children that I have yet to find any record of at this time, as family lore is that they had 17 children, and I found 14 of them.


NOTE:

Still trying to find the following children

Had a total of 17 children, and I found 14 of those children there are 3- children that I could not find earlier.

Currently looking for the place of burial on these two;
