The Edward Brown in my genealogy was born in Newfane, Niagara County, NY, per the 1880 Newfane census. The following is his mother's obituary from the Lockport, NY, Union Sun & Journal dated 2/23/1948:"Mary C. Brown, Barker, N.Y., entered into rest Saturday afternoon, February 21, 1948, in her 90th year.She is survived by 1 son and 1 daughter; Charles E. Brown of Barker; Mrs. Lillian Miles of Southern Pines, N. C.; also 5 grandchildren; 10 great grand-children; 2 great-great grandchildren.Friends may call at the Glenn H. Corwin funeral home....Burial in Wright’s Corners cemetery." Her maiden name was Craw.Since he is not mentioned in her obituary, I have assumed he predeceased her.
