James H Brookes Grave

A Presbyterian pastor with Presbyterian pastor ancestors, he was a pastor in St. Louis for 32 years. A friend of D.L. Moody and a mentor to Charles Scofield, Brookes led the premillennial dispensational movement through the Niagara Bible Conferences.

The Brookes Bible Institute nearby is named in his honor.

The Bellefontaine Cemetery is one of the few to have digitized its records and made them available for free online, with details on Brookes’ grave.
