Lancaster b. 3/14/1899 in Tenn. and died 4/7/1962 in San Diego (according to the California Death Index). I am trying to determine if she is he Cora J. Lancaster that I am researching.

The first is a photograph of M. J. BROWN which was taken at the H. F. Lee Studio in Central City, NE. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's or 1890's with M. J. BROWN identified as age 16 years and 9 months of age at the time the photograph was taken. The second photograph is identified as Carrie L. BROWN, Warren L. BROWN, and William Frank BROWN. This second photograph was also taken at the H. F. Lee Studio in Central City, probably also taken in the 1880's or 1890's. The three children in this second photograph are noted as 12 years and 2 months (Carrie), 6 years and 1 month (Warren), and 11 months of age (William Frank) respectively. Based on limited research and thanks to a BROWN Family Researcher I was able to locate the following information: 1880 census of Richland, NE: Oscar F. BROWN, age 44, born NY, parents born NY, a Farmer Frances E. BROWN, age 26, born OH, parents born England/NY William W. BROWN, age 4, born NE Bessie B. BROWN, age 2, born NE + 2 servants 1900 census of Central City, NE: Oscar F. BROWN, age 68, born Dec 1831, married 26 years, born NY, parents born NY Frances BROWN, wife, age 46, born Jul 1853, married 26 years, 6 children/5 living, born OH, parents born England/NY Carrie BROWN, dau, age 12, born Oct 1887, born NE, at School Warren L. BROWN, son, age 7, born Nov 1892, born NE, at School 1910 census of Orting, WA: Frances E. BROWN, age 56, a widow, 6 children/5 living, born OH, parents born England/NY Mortimer J. BROWN, son, age 28, born NE, parents born NY/OH, a Forest Ranger Warren L. BROWN, son, age 17, born NE, parents born NY/OH, a Creamery Laborer 1920 census of Orting, WA: Francis E. BROWN, age 66, a widow, born OH, parents born England/NY Warren L. BROWN, son, age 27, born NE, parents born NY/OH, a Timber Teamster It appears that Warren Lawrence BROWN b. 19 Nov 1892 in NE died in San Diego, CA at the age of 52 in 1944. I am hoping to locate someone from this BROWN Family so that these wonderful old photographs can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.

The date and location are from the CA death index so I believe it to be accurate. Nancy Madeline Towns SIMMONS death date May 5, 1991 I know that this would further my research if I could get this obit. I live in the San Joaquin Valley ( Modesto, Riverbank,) and I would be willing to do something in exchange for help in San Diego.
