Times-Picayune Newspaper May 28, 1893
On May 28 1893 The Times-Picayune newspaper featured an interview with 
Robert Brown who was the long time loyal body servant of President Jefferson 
Davis. In this article Brown tells that he is living with Thomas Templeton 
of St Elmo Alabama who I have discovered was a Confederate soldier. Brown 
was born in 1822 and had been with Davis for may years prior to the civil 
war and stayed loyal to the family long after. Mr. Brown was in poor health 
but told of a great life in this interview.

Templeton died in Mobile Co in Nov 1901 and wife Virginia received a civil 
war pension in 1916 for Thomas' service.

Hoping to find place of burial for Robert Brown in or near St Elmo or Coden 
where Thomas died.


Additional Comments:
Robert Robert was with Davis' in the White House of the confederacy and was 
captured with the Davis by Union forces in Georgia in 1865.
