Thank you for your contributions to find a grave.
The middle names you have listed for Edmond Brooks are not correct. His middle name was "Watt" and this was what he went by. My mother used to tell stories of Uncle Watt and how his belt, hanging on the back of the door, would hang to the floor (he was a substatial man). I think the census entries are mistakes.
I will assume that since you are a Brooks we are related. I am descended from Carrie Brooks James (Watt's sister).
I have a good photograph of Watt and of his family. I will try and get them posted when I can dig them out of storage. I believe they are labeled with Watt's name on the back. I even have a few other Brooks' pictures.
