    First three children of Horace Walter Brown and Lella Otis (Griffin) Brown; Coleman, Coleman County, Texas, c. 1938

    Photo provided by Doris Ann Brown Buhr, September 10, 2015, dbuhr@gvtc.com

    This is the five Brown kids taken about 1943 at Lella (Griffin) Brown's parent's house -- Hale Noah Griffin and Mexie (Mathis) Griffin; Coleman, Coleman County, Texas:

    Dan Willis Brown; Don Maynard Brown, Dale Frances Brown (female); Dwane Allen Brown; Doris Ann Brown

    Only Dale and I are still living and she is on her last leg in a nursing home in Brenham, Texas. Sometime ago a doctor said he thought she had water on the brain. She refused treatment so is now just a vegetable. So sad. Dale is/was the best of the five Brown kids. She taught Sunday School and played the piano for the children. She was such a kind and nice person. She would never put down another person!!

    All five of the Brown kids graduated from college:

    Dan Willis Brown 1959, Texas Tech, geology; all four of Dan's sons graduated from college
    Don Maynard Brown 1958 graduated from Texas Tech; Dairy Management
    Doris Ann Brown: Texas Woman's University 1958; MEd degree 1985 University of Texas Brownsville/Pan American University
    Dale Frances Brown Morgan: Lamar University, Beaumont, TX 1976 (she was married when she graduated)
    Dwane Allen Brown: University of Texas, Austin; 1964

      Lella Otis (Griffin) Brown: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=82094301

      From the above link, you will be able to find more info. Lella Otis (Griffin) Brown was born 14 April 1906 in Madisonville, Texas. She died 8 Nov. 1994 in Coleman, Texas.

      Her husband was Horace Walter Brown -- not William.

      From the findagrave page, you can find pictures. One that I had never seen until a few years ago was the picture of my father, Horacer Walter Brown, when he was about 4 years old. On the findagrave site, he is pictured with his parents, John Gilliam Brown and Sidya "Siddie" Elizabeth (Gribble) Brown and his younger sister, Ocia Mae (Brown) Seals.

      There is a picture of Don Maynard Brown when he was in the US Navy from 1950-1954. Both Don and my brother Dan Willis Brown attended and graduated from Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas, after their four years in the Navy. Don graduated in 1958 and Dan in 1959. I graduated in 1958 from Texas Woman's University. My younger sister, Dale Frances (Brown) Morgan,graduated from Lamar University in Beaumont, TX in about 1976 +-.

      I enjoy your Hennessee Family site.
      Best wishes,
