Frank Brawley buried in Canafax Cem. is John Frank Brawley, who came to TX with his father William Brawley and the rest of the family. William and his family originated from Iredell Co. NC then migrated west to Arkansas. Most of William's children were born in NC. In Ark. Williams' dau Tennessee Jane married Lee Allen Stratton. In 1856 the Brawley and Stratton families migrated to Tex. settling in and around Veal Station, Central, Erwin communities. The John Frank Brawley mentioned above was first married to Malvina A. and they had 3 children. Malvina died in 1867 is buried in Goshen Cem. Frank then married Margaret Ann Woods in 1871 and they had 6 children, two who died as infants and buried in Canafax Cem. Two of John's sons moved to OK, the other children stayed around Central Comm and married neighbors. If John committed suicide it's news to me, it does not say that in my cemetery book. As of now, I do not find a Levi Brawley in this family but it is possible. Shirley, born in Erwin Comm. Parker Co. TX
