One of the discoveries I made in researching the Wright line was that our 2nd great grandmother Laura Eugenia Brown Ludwig was buried in the Warrenville Cemetery, Warrenville, DuPage County, Illinois (Lot 14, Grave D) . Find-a-grave.com was very helpful in finding this discovery. It was linked to ancestry.com, which is how I found it. I began doing more research into Laura's family, her siblings & parents. I discovered that Laura's father, John Mason Brown, was also buried there (Lot 14, Grave H). More research helped me discover that her sister Julia Brown, who died at the young age of 19, was buried in Lot 14, Grave F. Another sister, Mary E. Brown Greene, was buried in Lot 14, Grave E. Laura's mother, Nancy Wescott Brown, apparently got remarried to Byron L. Harlow, after her first husband, John Mason Brown, died. (This was a 2nd marriage for Harlow also.) Once I discovered that, then it was easier to locate Nancy's grave site, also in Lot 14, but Grave G. Byron Harlow was buried in Lot 14, Grave A. His 1st wife, Lucy Millard Harlow, is buried in Lot 14, Grave B Then I discovered that Lot 14, Grave C is Carrie May Greene's grave site, who was about 15 years old when she died (the daughter of Mary E. Brown Greene). So, after a fair amount of research & some detective work, I was able to assemble the following summary:
Lot 14, Grave A: Byron L. Harlow, husband of Lucy Millard, then Nancy Wescott Brown
1792-1865
Lot 14, Grave B: Lucy Millard Harlow, 1st wife of Byron Harlow
1797-1850
Lot 14, Grave C: Carrie May Greene, daughter of Mary E Brown Greene
1862-1877
Lot 14, Grave D: Laura Brown Ludwig, dau. of John M Brown & Nancy Wescott Brown Harlow
1827-1889
Lot 14, Grave E: Mary Brown Greene, dau. of John M Brown & Nancy Wescott Brown Harlow
1832-1863
Lot 14, Grave F: Julia Brown, dau. of John M Brown & Nancy Wescott Brown Harlow
1838-1857
Lot 14, Grave G: Nancy Brown Harlow, wife of John M Brown, 2nd wife of Byron Harlow
1800-1881
Lot 14, Grave H: John Mason Brown, 1st husband of Nancy Wescott Brown
about 1795-1843
I can't really come up with a reason on how this came to be chronologically, based on who died first & was buried there, but in the end, this whole Lot 14 has family members who are related.
We were able to complete all the temple work for this Brown family except one sealing to parents which has been reserved by one of our family members & should be completed fairly soon :)
