| 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

| Lela Otis Griffin Brown (1906-1994) I finally found the graduation picture of my mother Lella Otis Griffin -- later married Horace Walter Brown.
She graduated from Baylor College for Women in Belton, Texas in 1928. (The college had many names.)
".....................Since the move to Belton, the school has undergone several name changes including: 1925, Baylor College for Women; 1934, Mary Hardin-Baylor College (named in honor of a benefactor); and 1978, University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. In 1971, the oldest college for women west of the Mississippi became co-educational...

| Lella Otis Griffin Brown (1906-1994) My mother, Lella Otis Griffin is on the right in the picture and her younger sister Frances Elizabeth (Griffin) Pearce is on the left. The picture was probably taken after Mother/Lella graduated from Mary Hardin Baylor College for Women in Belton, Texas in 1928. This is one of my favorite pictures of Mother. Picture was taken at the home of Hale Noah Griffin and Mexie (Mathis) Griffin in Coleman, Coleman County, Texas.
On the right: Lella, mother of Dan, Don, Doris, Dale, and Dwane Brown.
