Event Notes Note (1) Along with children Cleo and Blanch, in household of brother Charles. Note (2) In 1930, she was enumerated twice, once with her family in Grant District and again in the household of her uncle and aunt, Charles W. & Iva (Highland) Brown in Greenbrier District. In the latter, she was listed as a niece, 16, occupation servant for private family. Since Iva Brown died just three months after the census enumeration, it is likely that she was in the household to care for her aunt.
