Looking for the family of Brown, Oscar Fitzallen and Lawrence, Frances Elizabeth.

Oscar: b. 2 Dec 1832, New York. d. 12 Oct 1906, Central City, Merrick, Nebraska

Married 14 Jun 1874, Platte County, Neb.

Frances: b. 20 Jul 1853, Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio. d. 7 Jun 1929, Carnation, King, Wash.

 

Oscar was a veteran of the Civil War, serving first in the Missouri Cav, then the Mississippi Marine Brigade. After settling in Colfax County, he married Frances, or "Frankie", and they had six children:

William Warner m. Emma Anderson

Elizabeth Bessie m. George Revie

Mortimer Jay m. Ethel Unknown

Carrie Louise m. Adam Carlyle

Warren Lawrence m. Sousie Unknown

Sarah Alice died in infancy

After Oscar's death in the early 1900's, Frances followed her children to the town of Orting, Washington, and lived there for the last several years of her life, going between the homes of her children and the Orting Soldier's Home and Colony, serving US Veterans and widows. She is buried in the Soldier's Home Cemetery. Oscar is buried in Richland, Nebraska.
