Individual Details

Buried Centerville City Cemetery. According to the obituary of W.C Bowles, William Brooks was an "Ex-Representative", but I don't know if that's referring to state or federal government. I checked the on-line Biographical Directory of the United States Congress, 1774-Present (bioguide.congress.gov on the internet), and found no William Brooks. So, he definitely was not a U.S. Representative.

Notes imported from GEDCOM:

William Carson Brooks came to Missouri in 1839, according to OldReynolds, published in 1977 by the Reynolds County "Courier". Accordingto this book, he served as the counties second Treasurer. It also listsWiliam Brooks as having served as Missouri State Representative fromReynolds County, in both 1889 and 1899. He was the last man elected tothe House before the turn of the century and the last Civil War veteranto serve in this post. He had served six months in the Confederate Army.
