Honoring the Dead
(By Lisa O'Donnell, Winston-Salem Journal) - Ken Brown is a keeper of the flame for the war dead of Stokes County.
From Marklan Mabe's death in the Civil War in 1861 to Phillip Nixon's fatal wound in Honduras in 1991, Brown has documented the deaths of hundreds of Stokes County soldiers on his website, www.kenbrown.info/stokes.
Brown, who is retired from the Navy, has spent much of the past 10 years digging through archives, traveling to cemeteries and talking with family members about their loved ones.
