I say odd because the HEAD of the house is BEN BROWN. It shows the "wife" as MINNIE BROWN. But just under it, it shows all the kids as LYERLY's starting with DAVID LYERLY 26, NOAH LYERLY 24, CORA LYERLY 21, EVERETT LYERLY 18, then FLOYD LYERLY 16, which would make Floyd born about 1904. There is also a FLOYD listed as grandson. The odd part is Minnie is listed as 45 yrs old and her husband Ben Brown is listed as 27 yrs old. I would say Mrs. Minnie Lyerly, either left her husband for a younger man, or was left a widow and this kind soul of a youth, offered to help a poor widow and fell for an older woman. Not sure if this helps but it looked promising. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
