Interesting how all the children except two went outside Mississippi. Three to Gary, Indiana, and three to California. I wonder what happened to them all?

Individually, they likely have interesting stories to tell, successes, failures and regrets.

He looks so vulnerable in that photograph.

Do you know a Jehue Brewer. He was my mothers father but she never knew him or his family he passed when she was 5 months old. Her name was Louvenia Brewer. She passed September 30, 2015.

Tammy, I don't have a Jehue Brewer on the family tree. Where are your Brewers from?

Tammy said...

He was born in Arkansas. We were told he live in Chicago or New York. He passed in St Louis, Mo.
