He died late 1922 or early 1923. He was married to an Elizabeth. She died around May 13, 1922. She had given birth to my grandmother Johnnie LaVerne Brown 2 days before on the 11th. This would've been the 3rd or so marriage for both. They had 6 or so kids between them, mostly older children. When they died Johnnie was sent to half or step sister Maudie in Tyler, TX. Johnnie was then sent to orphanage in Waco. Maudie already had 5 kids of own. Had a sister Virgie, and a brother A.V. we believe. Thank you for any help. Charity
