Hi Bliss:
Thanks for the confirmation.
I was looking for something else and there were 2 other Cumberland County related obits on the same page.
Do you know what happened to Frederick William Brown’s brother, Harry J. Brown?

David,
Yes, you are correct; he is gs/o James Noble Shannon Brown and Susanna Skidmore.
Thank you for the Obit.....I previously had the appropriate dates provided to me by his nephew. There is some confusion within various sources as to the proper spelling of Jessie Lea Whalen or Jessie Lee Wayland; I have see it presented both ways and still uncertain as to the correct version.
Hillaton,Kings County,N.S. was a long time location for many members of the James and Sarah (Franklin) Brown line.
