    1. [BROWN] BROWN Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of Rex Keith BROWN which was taken at the Anderson Studio in Kearney. There is no state indicated, though I believe that the studio is in Kearney, Nebraska. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with Rex likely less than 1 year old at the time. In addition to his name, someone has written "Grandma & Grandpa from" on the back of the photograph indicating that the photograph was a gift to Rex's grandparents. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding Rex and his family: Rex BROWN b. 19 May 1909 in Buffalo Co. NE to parents Howard E. BROWN (b. 3 Oct 1884 in Riverdale, NE) and Maud Ethel BOOHER (b. 20 Jan 1889 in Buffalo Co. NE). Rex's parents had 8 children including, Dwight; Rex; Zona Gail; Betty Jane; Milton Dean; Jack Herbert; Joyce Leona; and one additional child who is not named in records. All were born in Buffalo or Union Counties NE between 1907 and 1914. Rex died in Oregon in 1931. I am hoping to locate someone from this BROWN Family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of his family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
