NOTE:	This cemetery tells a sad story.  An epidemic of
        typhoid in 1851 took Abraham Browns wife on June 
	29th, his grand daughter on July 22, and a son 2
        days later.  Then in September,  another son, 
	Emanuel, dying of the disease, with his wife Rachel
        dying within days of Emanuel, leaving 4 small
        children. Abraham died 3 years later, before
        witnessing another family tragedy, when 5 more of
        his grandchildren died of diphtheria. (Price

        Rachel Brown.  She died of a cold.
	Abraham was the son of Adam and Christena Brown.
        His wife, Elizabeth, was the daughter of Michael
        and Catherine Core.
