Biography

Brown Emerson, born in 1778, was among those who laid the groundwork for Harmony Grove’s early stability, helping neighbors sustain farms, churches, and common purpose during the young republic’s formative years.

The Harmony Grove Cemetery grounds offer a place of reflection on his steady character and the quiet ways he strengthened the community.
