Samuel Brown
Aged 78 yrs
Researcher's notes
The style of this coffin plate was in use from about 1890 to 1910. This would give Samuel a birth date of about 1810 to 1830.
I had a look for Samuel Brown in the 1880 census on Ancestry. I found over 600 Samuel Browns so I have started to put a few of them below.
