  Death	1 Mar 1856	Lanark Highlands (Dalhousie), Lanark County, Ontario, Canada
  	Cause: Typhoid fever
  	Came to Canada in 1826 with parents James Brownlee and Margaret Thomson to Kingston. The family lived in Kingston for two years before moving to Dalhousie Twp. in 1828. Robert settled on a farm at Con 12, Lot 10E of Dalhousie Twp. near west end of Dalhousie Lake and farmed there until his death of typhoid fever in 1856. He was one of the first caretakers of Crawford's Cemetery. Note: The family name Brownlee was originally spelled Brownlie. Robert's and wife Mary Dunlop's original tombstone was replaced in the mid 1950s and the family name was changed to Brownlee. Note: there is another daughter Marion Stuart Brownlee that was born 13 Jul 1850 in Dalhousie Twp. She married Thomas A, Findlay Find A Grave Memorial# 150983699. Marion died on 1 Dec 1932 in Sonoma, California, USA. Note: The Date of Death for Mary Dunlop is incorrect on the headstone, as it should be Sept. 22, 1900 not 1902. This is not the original headstone as the original had started to crack and crumble. The headstone was replaced by Robert and Mary Brownlee's grandchildren in about 1955. Her grandson Robert Lawrence Brownlee was the one that organized the replacement and collected the money from his cousins to pay for it. The headstone engravers had made an error engraving Mary's date of death and engraved 1902 instead of 1900. My Grandfather Robert Lawrence was not pleased at the time but it was as the old saying goes "it was engraved in stone". How do I know, I was there with my grandfather when the replacement stone was installed. Jim Brownlee
  Burial	Crawford Cemetery, Elphin, Lanark Highlands (North Sherbrooke), Lanark County, Ontario, Canada
