I found this info in an old San Antonio Express newspaper. I am not related to this family, just wanting to pass on the info.
There is an article in the Sunday, December 06, 1942 edition that tells about a ceremony in Corpus Christi, Texas at the Tree Shrine of the Woods. It states that last Sunday, a large mesquite tree was dedicated in memory of two who were killed in action at Pearl Harbor.
It gives this info on William (Billie) Jack Brownlee. It states that he was born 06/15/1921, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Rush Brownlee. It states he was buried at Schofield Barracks.
The other person is Warren Joseph Sherrill, born in Republic, Kansas on September 29, 1920. States he was killed on the USS Arizona. States he has a twin brother named John Benjamin and another brother Koren T. States his mother is Mrs. Lora Mary Sherrill.
There were pictures of both in the article.
The newspaper was in really bad shape and I just tried to retrieve what I could from it. I do not have the newspaper.
Hope this info helps someone.
