Hon. Charles H. Brown (1834-1897), Mayor of Omaha, Nebraska (1867-68), US Congressman, Nebraska State Representative, is buried in Stephentown, Rensselaer County, New York. His monument is located in the old Brown family cemetery now managed by the Stephentown Cemetery Association. He is my relative. Stephentown is where he was born and raised.

The information on the historical marker for Gen. William Moore located on the courthouse square in Lynchburg, TN, which I researched and placed there, states that he died 10 March 1871 and is buried in the Moore Family Cemetery, which is near Mulberry, TN, in Lincoln County, TN. His image is on a display plate at Miss Mary Bobo's in Lynchburg, but l don't know who made it or if reproductuions are available. He is my ggg grandfathe, and l'd really like to have one of those plates. kaycorn@comcast.net
