Forget Me Not: Junius E Brown, 1955 WA



Junius Earl Brown

12 May 1892 MS – 11 Jan 1955 WA
Son of Jasper Pascal Brown & Rose Ella Brumfield
Father of Joseph Pershing Brown & Everett Earl Brown

My Great Uncle, Brother to my grandfather, Roy Jesse Brown


These two obituaries have minor differences. The second tells us Junius was a carpenter and gives two residences for him: Clarkston, Washington & Kellogg, Idaho. The first gives a location for his widow and the second gives a more exact location for one son. 

Junius was one of nine children and both obituaries give incorrect information concerning his siblings. The informant must have given the wrong data to the newspaper. 

Searching through Find A Grave, I found him at Greenwood Cemetery, Kellogg, Shoshone, Idaho. Memorial #73134214. The stone has his name but no dates. The memorial had no information except a photo of the very worn stone. I left some brief information. 




Brown Service Set Tomorrow. Kellogg, Idaho, Jan. 13 – Funeral services for Junius E. Brown, 61, who died Tuesday at Spokane will be held tomorrow at 3 p. m. (MST) from McGlade chapel in Kellogg. Burial will be in Greenwood cemetery. Survivors include his widow, Ora, at Rose Lake; two sons, Joe, New Orleans, and Everett, Tennessee; one brother and a sister.

Irish: In my Roots & In my Heart


Wishing you always...
Walls for the wind, 
A roof for the rain
And tea beside the fire.
Laughter to cheer you, 
Those you love near you, 
And all that your heart may desire.

An Irish Blessing for you on St. Patrick's Day, my birthday!
