*Transcribed for genealogical purposes; I have no relation to the person(s).

Note: Neal appears to be the son of Elijah and Emma BROWN, born July 6, 1890. If so, he was married to a woman named Vera. In any case, Neal was a PFC in the Army (in WWI?) and is buried at the Keokuk National Cemetery in Keokuk, Lee County, Iowa, interred on April 29, 1932.
