Biography
| Burial | 12 NAR 1926 | Nathan Barker Brown was buried 12 NAR 1926 in Middletown, Newport County, Rhode Island.1 |
| Birth | 9 December 1848 | He was born on 9 December 1848 in Middletown, Newport County, Rhode Island.1 |
| Marriage | 1871 | He and Lydia M. Ward were married in 1871 |
| Directory | 1916 | As of 1916 Nathan was listed in the Middletown, Newport County, Rhode Island, directory. on p. 142, as Brown, Nathan B., farmer h. Greenland Ave (P.O. Newport)
Several people were also listed as boarding with Nathan:
Brown Chester B. farmer, bds N.B. Brown Greenend [sic] Ave (P.O. Newport)
Brown Clara Etta bds N. B. Brown (P.O. Newport)
Brown Eleanor Cooper, bds N. B. Brown (P.O. Newport)
Brown Ida Berkeley, bds N. B. Brown (P.O. Newport)
Brown, Spencer F., carpenter, bds N.B. Brown, Greenland Ave (P.O. Newport)
perhaps there were other boarders, but I noticed these because they are all alphabetized with the Browns.
There must have been a second Clara Etta Brown, because Nathan's sister Clara Etta married a Miller and died in 1897. |
