Surnames:
BROWN, LIMESTONE COUNTY. A short story about one of my relatives.
Gilbert Theopolis BROWN, of Mexia, TX in the mid 1920's. He was son of
Telmachus Mortimer BROWN, and his second wife Emma Carrie KILDOW. Worked
in the oil field as lease broker, tool pusher. Reportedly shot and
killed a man. It was noted that the victim was the town bully, and had
threatened Gilbert. Gilbert was known as "Foff, also Baldy, also
Squire." It was reported that the victim had threatened the life of Foff
several times, and on this particular occassion made a motion as to go
for a gun. Foff had one and used it. Unfortunately the victim was only
bluffing. I was told that no charges were filed. |
