EARLIEST BURIALS

Burials at Brewer Hill

There are more than 7,000 people who are interred in this historic cemetery. We are making an effort to document all of our loved ones. Please support our efforts by asking older family members to give information about people that they know who are interred in the cemetery. Look in old family bibles, check your old Funeral Programs , Death Certificates, Oral Histories and share them with us.

Here are some things listed that we are looking for. The burial locations of the occupants of the cemetery. This memorial marker or stone is the marker for the first female undertaker Ellen Helen Parker Brown. After many years of researching, her great- granddaughter and our researcher found the lost location.
