>I have been communicating with a very helpful cemetery secretary in
>Duluth, Minnesota about my grandmother's relatives. Yesterday, she send me
>a packet of letters written by Glenn Brown, who was apparently married to
>my grandmother's cousin, Minnie E. McLean. She died of diabetes in 1902
>at the age of 25. However, her husband, Glenn Brown apparently kept in
>touch with the family and allowed Minnie's parents and sister to be buried
>on the plot he purchased.
>
>Among the material I received were original letters Glenn Brown wrote to
>the cemetery from 1902 to 1905 and copies of forms he signed giving
>permission to bury other relatives on his plot. (He is not buried
>there.) Most of the time he lived in Cleveland but the last note from him
>in 1926 gives his address as "New York City, the South 8th."
>
>The cemetery suggested that I could either give the letters to "the
>family" or return them to their files. I am posting this in the hope that
>someone who is related might claim them. He worked for 'Ore Mines Div. of
>T.C.I.R.R. Company in Bessemer, Alabama and seemed to travel, as at least
>one letter is written on hotel stationery. I would guess that he was a
>mining engineer who checked mines sites for them.
>
>If anyone thinks that Glenn Brown might be a relative, please contact me
>privately and I will send you the letters.
