This pile of stones on the left of the photo marks the burial of Alfred H. 
Brown.  It was marked in the 1930's when the Early History of Upson Co. was 
published, but the marker is no longer there.  He was born c. 1798 GA and died 
13 May 1871. His daughter in law is to his right, Mariah Marquise Collier 
Brown.
