Hi Mike!
Thanks for checking out Blachly, Porter CO for me. I tried to reply to
your e-mail but my mail could for some reason not be delivered. Hope you
find this reply instead.
All I know is what was written in Hans BrownŽs obituary, in the Peoria
Journal Star, IL:
Peoria Journal Star, Apr. 28, 1980, Page B8, Column 3--
Hans B. Brown, 85, a resident of Pavilion Nursing Home for the past seven
years, died at 1:38 p.m. yesterday at Methodist Medical Center.
Born April 11, 1895, in Pueblo, Colo., he was a son of Charles and Amanda
Brown.
He was last employed by the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago,
retiring 20 years ago.
Surviving are one daughter, Mrs. Gerald (Barbara) Boyles of Peoria, and
four grandchildren. He was preceded in death by three brothers and one
sister.
Services will be at 11 a.m. Wednesday at the LaHayne Funeral Home, Hammond,
Ind. Burial will be in Blachly Cemetery, Valparaiso, Ind.
So itŽs a mystery: if he wasnŽt buried at Blachly after all, I wonder where
he ended up? I always assumed he was buried at Blachly, because his wife
or some other relative was buried there, but if there are no other Browns
either..????
If you have any further ideas about this, I would be most grateful.
Sincerely,
Anette
