Surnames: Brewer and Briggs Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lY.2ADE/724 Message Board Post: Emerson Brewer (b. March 11, 1865) and his wife Alice May Briggs were born in New Brunswick, Canada. They moved to Colorado and according to relatives Emerson was struck and killed by lightning while working on a roof. They had a son George H. Brewer, b. Sept 20, 1892 in Woodstock, New Brunswick. I believe that they may have had a daughter Alice M. Brewer b. abt 1895 in Colorado. In the 1910 census, Emerson Brewer, 42 is living in 22-PCT, Fremont, Colorado. In the 1930 census, his son George H. Brewer and his wife, Emma, are living in Canon City, Fremont. Does anyone know about these families?
