Kathleen,
Here is the information you
requested:
Question #1: The Julia listed
in the burial index without a last name d. 1856, age 1 year, 3 months. So she
cannot be your Julia Brooks Stout.. In addition, neither Julia nor Benjamin are
listed in the burials of Brown County. This might suggest that they moved out of
the county before their deaths or were buried in a nearby county. Benjamin and
Julia are there in 1870 Census:
!870 Census of brown county,
Illinois, Mt Sterling Twp
33/33
Benjamin Stout 60 m tailor
Kentucky
Julia Stout 49 f
Kentucky
Sarah Stout 21 f
Illinois
Barton Stout 28 m works in
tobacco manufacturing Illinois
Benjamin shows up in the 1880
census with Barton:

This confirms that Julia died
before 1880, but because she does not appear in the burial records, either she
is buried in another county or her burial record has been lost. Same basic logic
applies to Benjamin.
Question #2: William
Brooks
There is no burial record for
William. However, a Lovona or Lavena wife of W. F or W. P. Brooks, b. 1813, d. 1
Jan ? is found in the Cleaves Cemetery burial records in Lee Twp. This may be
Julia’s mother. The burial for William may have been lost or he may appear
buried with Julia and Benjamin, wherever they may be found. The above burial is
in Cemeteries of Brown County, Illinois, pp.
96-98.
Hope this helps a
little.
Sincerely,
Ken
Huffman

Hi Ken
& Laurie,
I haven't
heard back from you regarding the Brooks/Stout obituary
information I sent you several weeks ago and I was wondering if
you ever received it?
If not be
sure and let me know and I'll try to send it again.
If you
did receive it I was still very curious to see if you thought
the "Julia" listed in the Mt. Sterling graveyard,
with out a last name, might just be Julia Brooks Stout
(wife of Benjamin D. Stout)?
I was
also wondering if you were able to find out any information on Julia's
father, William Brooks?
The 1860 Mt.
Sterling, Brown Co. IL census shows
William Brooks (b. PA.
age 83) living with Benjamin & Julia
Stout.
Looking
forward to hearing from you.
Thanks
again for all your help!
Kathleen
