She was known as "Kate" and was born in Albemarle Co., VA. Her father was Tazwell B. Brown who was the son of Clifton Brown,who was the son of Benjamin Brown, Sr. all from Virginia. Benjamin Brown, Sr. was born in Wales.
This lady is the one who bought the cemetery and named it "Holbrook Cemetery". It was originally known as Ayres Cemetery. She purchased it in 1943 from O. P. White and his wife. Evidently they had purchased the land it was on and gave her a deed to the cemetery.
There is a Walter Ayres who lived in this neighborhood in the 1800's who married Elvira Susan Brown who was a daughter of Dr. Charles Brown of Virgina and relative of the Marshall Co.,MS Brown family. Therefore, I assume it must have been his property at one time and they probably started the cemetery.
The ones I have listed on this web site are the only tombstones. All the Brown and Holbrook tombstones are my relatives and history has it there are a lot more graves that either were not marked or the stones have been broken and are no longer there. The cemetery has kudzoo growing on most of it and you can't see what is there.
