Rhoda Malissa Neely, daughter of Robert Neely and Sarah Elizabeth (Russell) Neely, was born November 10, 1832 in Boone County, Missouri. After the Neely family moved to Camden County, they settled in the same area occupied by the first Browns to come to Camden County in 1838 -- Polly Brown & spouse Alfred Clinton, with whom Lewis & John Henry lived after coming from Kentucky in 1843. Thus, Malissa Neely married the neighbor boy, Lewis Sinclair Brown, in 1848. They later moved from that area to a farm on what is now State Highway BB and Garman Road. Malissa had nine children with Lewis before her premature death in 1869 at age 37.

Rhoda Malissa is buried in Brown Cemetery, located on the farm she and Lewis Brown homesteaded. Her original tombstone was broken but is now repaired; it features an engraving of a hand with index finger pointing to heaven and reads "Gone But Not Forgotten". A new granite double tombstone has also been added for her and Lewis. (Bio info submitted by great-great granddaughter, Joan Wyatt Bradley)
