AMY BROWN (formerly KENNEMER)

SAYRE, March 9. Funeral services for Mrs. Amy BROWN,90, who died Tuesday
morning at the home of her son T. M. KENNEMER, in the Highway community
near Carter, were held this afternoon at the Taylor church and burial was
made in the Taylor cemetery.

Mrs. BROWN was born in Woodville, Alabama and lived there until some time
in the late 60's when she moved to Texas with her family. She was a member
of the Church of Christ and her life was devoted to the principles of her
church. In 1907 she came to Oklahoma where her family settled near Carter.
She was preceded in death by her husband several years ago and has since
made her home with her son.

Mrs. BROWN was truly a representative of the pioneer type of woman who
"came west" with her husband in the early days and who graciously added
her bit to the cultural and interesting side of life in the communities
in which she lived.

Her husband served in the Confederate army under General Robert E. Lee
in Virginia. "Aunt Amy" as she was affectionately called by all who knew
her, was made an honorary member of the Mildred Lee chapter of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy when it was organized in Sayre in 1923. This
organization was officially represented at her funeral and the court house
was closed during the funeral hour.

Mrs. BROWN is survived by three sons, T. R. KENNEMER of Highway, Lon KENNEMER,
of Dill City, and Ison(sp?) KENNEMER, of Scottsboro, Alabama, who was unable
to attend the funeral. She was an aunt of County Assessor G. G. PERKIN
and has many other nieces and nephews in the county.
