Detail of the 1850 Federal Census, Green Twp, Clinton Co, OH, showing two consecutive Brewer households. The first is headed by Joel Brewer and the next by his father, Jeremiah Brewer. In a column not shown in this detail, Jeremiah his shown as born in NC, and all others in both households are shown as born in OH. In Jeremiah's household, son William B. Brewer is listed as age 4.(From member Jay Wright)

Cemetery records indicate E.C. Lovell was the informant and his cause of William's death was heart trouble. Burial on 10/11/1917 in an unmarked grave.

The local paper shares William gathered junk and old paper, and was given permission to make his home at the junk yard and sleep in a small shack there. After being in bad health for some time, he had fallen asleep on his cot and was found the next day.

As the coroner was out of town, William's remains were most probably kept at the holding vault until the inquest.

The Sugartree Cemetery Association built the holding vault in 1912 for such purposes.
