To Bill Brown: The title of the WWII Veteran's picture album is "The Men and Women in World War II from Drew County" Published by Southern Publishing Company in Camden, Ark. My sister Judy gave me the copy I have, and I seriously doubt if it is available...looks like a one time publishing event to me. Anyway, since you are in Dallas and can't get to the Drew County Library, I will be happy to copy and fax (as clearly as possible) the pages of the book that deal with the Browns. Frankly, the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Ed Brown lost both their sons in the war within a few months time is a big deal historically. It must have been heartbreaking for them...but what continually amazes me is how quickly communities forget these events...Certainly everyone in Drew County must have known about the Brown Boys being killed in action at the time it happened. I wonder if there were any ceremonies to commemorate their deaths, other than a funeral. Where did they live in Drew County...probably in a rural community since they went to Drew Central. Are there any pictures of them growing up, or in the Pirate annual...or was there a Pirate annual in those days? Anyway, looks like you have a couple of true war heros in the Brown family...if you learn more, please report. If you want me to fax you copies of the pages I mentioned, please call me at 602-483-7765 or leave your fax number on an e-mail. I will be gone to Tennessee on business the rest of the week, so I will not be able to respond until then. Good luck with your research.
