NOTES: Brownlee Cemetery lies 1.7 miles west of the intersection of US 67 and
Route 135, then about 1 mile north of Route 135 on the east side of a gravel road. This is only about a mile
north of the Warren/Mercer County line, and a few miles west of Norwood, in Suez Township, Mercer County,
Illinois. As can be seen from the photo "Brownlee Cemetery", the cemetery is not maintained, although veterans
graves were marked with flags (Memorial Day 2004). In the cemetery photo, the marker of Robert Pollock can be
seen on the left hand side. Immediately next to his marker and reading north to south, but hidden in the photo
by tall weeds, lies Jane Lee Henderson, her husband Ebenezer, their daughter Henrietta, then granddaughters
Sara and Leola. According to government records, Brownlee cemetery was in use from 1842 to 1942.
