1860=1940
Census Enumerators listed names and dates as they understood the registrant who oft times
had little or no education which led to numerous errors in names, dates and ages. I have tried
to copy the census as recorded, where errors occur, I apologize. Death certificates are not
available in Spartanburg for years before 1917 and Obituaries have not been put on
microfilm for the years 1924 through 1929.

Writer’s comments; the Brown families were scattered throughout the Glendale area. Only
a few families lived in the village. Some lived in farm houses owned by the mill. Some lived
on the Glendale/Clifton road, some on the Lewis Chapel/Goldmine road, some on the
Glendale Bethesda road and some on the Glendale/Cedar Springs road.
All the Browns which I personal knew were fine, hardworking, community minded people.
