My name is Gwen Smith. I am from Thomson, Carroll County, Illinois. I
am requesting a cemetery record for Noah Brown. He died June 16, 1893 in
Magnolia, IA in the home of his son Luther Daniel. This information is
according to Civil War pension papers. If you need more information, please
contact me. Thank you!

**************************
I believe I checked this for someone else recently. There is no tombstone
for Noah Brown in Magnolia Cemetery. He is not listed in the Harrison County
WPA Grave Registration book & there is no early death record for him at the
court house. He must be buried in an unmarked grave or else his tombstone is
unreadible.

I just checked the Magnolia Cemetery book for Luther Daniel Brown & found an
interesting note about the grave next to his:

MAGNOLIA Cemetery, Magnolia IA
Section 2 Row 1
UNKNOWN SOLDIER's grave
BROWN, Emma 1849-1934
BROWN, L D 1848-1928 Father Mason FLT
GARNER, Hattie G 1864-1944
BROWN, Ollie Died Feb 16 1894 age 3y 10m son of L D & E

The unknown soldier's grave must have a military flag holder or something on
it. Whatever it is it has no name or dates. Is this where Noah Brown is
buried? Does anyone out there know for sure????
