I had recently found my ancestor James Jeremiah Brower was buried at Mt. Auburn Cemetery in St. Joseph, Missouri. After calling the cemetery and getting a map of his tombstone location and verifying NO other BROWER family were buried there, my wonderful friend went on a tombstone hunt for me and not only did he find James Jeremiah Brower, but also his wife Pearl Brower CURTIS !! The date of her birth is the same date as the first wife, Rozella Pearl Chase. With this new information, I found Pearl returned to Jim about 8 to 10 years later after being estranged and they remarried. After Jim passed away, she remarried and because Pearl Curtis.
