Notes for James Allen Brown
His death certificate records James A. Brown, age 74 years 11 months 11 days, born 1 July 1871 in Limestone, Ky, died 11 June 1945 in Morehead R 2, Rowan Co., Ky, widowed, name of late wife Emma Stone, father Harrison Brown, mother’s maiden name Phebia Roe, both born in Limestone, Ky, cause of death valvular heart disease, informant Harry Brown, Morehead, R 2, burial in Clark Cemetery.
Notes for Alice Prince
Her death certificate records Alice Brown, age 45, born 1871 in Ky, died 5 Jan 1917 in Pine Grove precinct, Rowan Co., Ky, marital status blank, father Arthur Prince, mother’s maiden name Cyntha Sparks, both born in Ky, cause of death mostly illegible (looks something like “Mesioerbergia from Inbisruerbution of uterus” but could be quite different, pretty much all letters are just spikes), informant Geo. Brown, Triplet, Ky, burial blank, undertaker J. C. Clark, Triplet.

The 1870 census listed her as age 7/12, born in Nov, so the 1871 birthdate is incorrect.
