Obit for Birdie M. Brown

Birdie M. Brown was born northwest of Leedey, Oklahoma on September 13,
1890 and passed away March 28, 1990.

Her husband was Walter J. Ellis and mother was Samantha M. Ellis.
Bridie was one of eight children.

Walter Ellis, her father, was a farmer.

The family left Oklahoma in 1913 for Arizona.  They traveled by covered
wagon and teams of horses.  The trip took 3 months, as they had to work on
the way to earn money for food and sundires and also to rest the horses.

Bridie married John Frederick Brown in Los Lumas, New Mexico on the way
to their new home in Arizona.  This was in 1913.

They settled in Florence, Arizona, where their family was started.  Five
children were born of this marriage, Carl, now deceased, Lora, Wesley, Irene
and Carol.

Bridies husband, John Brown, died in August, 1989.  Birdie will join her
husband in Rose Hills Mausoleum.

Birdie was the late daughter-in-law of John and Rosa Brown of the
Canadian Community northwest of Leedey and also sister-in-law of the late
Otto Brown who lived northwest of Leedey.
